Apple Pie Pancakes

I woke up this morning with a crazy craving for some pancakes I had at a restaurant in Fayetteville, NC. They had this amazing apple topping on them, and I really really liked them. But the only thing I could think of that would be remotely close to this amazing apple topping of awesomeness was apple pie filling. So what did I do? I diced a couple of apples and made my very own apple pie filling to put on top of my pancakes. I had to improvise a little, since usually apple pie filling becomes carmelized as the pie is baking in the oven. I had to kind of guess how to cook it on the stove. But it worked. mmmmmmmmmMMMmm. So good. And definitely not the sort of thing to eat more than once a year. In fact, Stephen said he'd probably never eat them again, which I thought was kind of harsh. But he said they were just too much sweet for his sweet tooth, and he can't believe I could take that much sweetness. Especially for breakfast. So there you have it. Deathly awesome apple pie pancakes. As good or better than my fabulous home baked apple pie.

  2. Dice 2 apples (or as many as you want...)
    Mix Together:
    3/4 Cup brown sugar
    2 Tbsp flour
    1/4 tsp nutmeg
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/8 tsp salt
    Coat apples with sugary goodness in saucepan (pot)
    Stir in 2 Tbsp buttery goodness
    Heat over low-medium heat until bubbly, cover and let simmer until apples are soft. That's the part where my expertise gets fuzzy. I don't really know how long it was simmering, and I was a little afraid I was burning it... burned sugar = no good smell. Or taste. heh.
