Apple Pie Pancake from Perfectly Imperfect Organic Apples - Cooking Seasonally and Buying Locally

Last trip to the farmer's market I found organic apples from a 60 year old tree. How do I know they  came from a 60 year old tree? Well, the 60 year old man who sold them to me said the tree was planted on his birthday and I believe him. 60 year old tree, or not, they're local and not sprayed, so I'm happy with that. And, I can deal with the "imperfections" because a few spots, a bug bite, or anything from nature is MUCH preferable than dealing with pesticides.




And, this morning I made a pancake and used the apple for the topping -

APPLE PIE PANCAKE
Pancake

1/4 cup organic wheat flour
1/4 cup filtered water
1 tsp aluminum free baking powder
1/4 tsp apple pie spice
1 packet of stevia

Mix the pancake batter and cook like a regular pancake. 


Topping
1 apple chopped
1/4 tsp apple pie spice
2 tablespoons of apple juice or apple cider
1 tsp arrowroot
dash of salt
1 tablespoon of toasted walnuts
honey

Microwave all topping ingredients (except the walnuts and the honey) for 45 seconds. Stir and microwave for another 45 seconds. Toast the walnuts by putting them in a dry skillet and shaking them around on a hot burner until they are crispy. Top the pancake with the apples, the walnuts and some honey, if you want. Tastes like autumn!
