Caramelized Apple Pancakes

Sunday mornings are for pancakes, PJ’s, and family. We’re hunkering down for a great day of #ldsconf and these pancakes! Caramelized Apple Pancakes INGREDIENTS: Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes mix Pecan Pumpkin instant oatmeal, Trader Joes Apples, sliced Butter or butter spray Honey or brown sugar Kosher salt Pumpkin Spice Granola, Trader Joes Maple syrup METHOD: For every 2 cups of prepared pancake mix add one packet of pumpkin oatmeal and mix. Cook pancakes as usual. Cut apple into very thin slices. Sauté with a little butter or butter flavored spray on medium heat. As they start to soften, add honey or brown sugar (or a little of both). How much depends on how sweet you want your apples. I didn’t do too much just enough to coat. When apples are Caramelized take off heat and add a dash of salt. Top pancakes with apples, granola, and maple syrup!
