A Recipe for Apple Maple Syrup *plus* A Giveaway

Tuesday, October 24, 2017

Happy Tuesday, My Lovelies!  Are you enjoying gorgeous autumn weather where you are?  It's absolutely beautiful here in Central Alabama.

Are you enjoying the season's delicious apples?





We have several Honeycrisp apples, and when I saw Peggy Lampman's recipe for Quiche's Buttermilk Pancakes with Apple-Maple Syrup and Walnuts I just had to try them.  Peggy hosts a foodie blog called dinnerFeed, and you can see her original pancake and syrup recipe HERE.  You should follow her because her blog is super cool!


Sometimes you want a large breakfast.  Maybe you ate a salad the night before for dinner, skipped that "midnight snack," or simply know that you'll be burning tons of energy for the day.




Autumn brings a bounty of apples, and it's also the start of comfort food season.  Why not indulge in fluffy buttermilk pancakes and your favorite apples softly sautéed in butter?




What this recipe needs is a pinch or two of cinnamon...or maybe Penzey's spices cake spice; after all, they are panCAKES.  ;P




Now that I have your undivided attention, here's how I made the syrup.  Mine is slightly different because I used what I had on hand.  My recipe serves two.


Apple-Maple Syrup with Candied Pecans

Ingredients:
2 T sweet butter
1 Honeycrisp apple, cored and cut into 1/4" slices
1/2 cup maple syrup (I used The Fresh Market's Maple Syrup)
1/8 t Penzey's cake spice
cinnamon to taste
Candied pecans

Procedure:
Melt butter in a castiron skillet over medium to medium-low heat.  Add the apple slices and sauté until tender, about 6 - 8 minutes.  Stir in maple syrup, spices, and pecans.  Remove from heat.

Now you're ready to make either waffles or pancakes.  Once they're made, add the syrup.



I made my  buttermilk pancakes in an iron skillet, too.  So yummy!  Now I'm ready to face my day!

  16. Those pancakes with the apples look so good and so perfect for a cold Fall morning. It's funny how we associate different foods with each season. I did not know how much I wanted to try those until the weather got cold here!
