Pancake Covered Apple Slices

Not health food but healthier than many options.

I made this for the first time this morning and it was delicious!

I peeled, cored and sliced one organic apple then whipped up my favorite pancake recipe. I know everyone has different tastes so use a recipe that you like but make sure to use healthy ingredients. I use organic flour, healthy(ier) sugar, melted butter in place of the oil, Himalayan sea salt, organic baking powder, cage free eggs, and whole milk. (In a perfect world I would have used sprouted wheat flour, fresh free-range eggs (from my own chickens!), raw milk, raw butter, and maybe something like maple syrup in place of the sugar.)

Use a fork to dip the apple slices in the batter and cook in a combination of refined coconut oil and butter. (Okay, I used quite a bit of oil and the pancakes came out with an almost deep fried taste and texture. So good!)

I cooked the first batch a little too hot and the batter around the apple was still, well, batter. I reduced the heat and the rest came out perfect.

The apple slice was a sweet and tender surprise in the middle and I think some cinnamon could be added to this with very good results!

Oh, and it was really quick to make this! I'm already thinking about trying another fruit in place of the apple. Maybe peach slices when they're in season.
