This recipe uses pancake batter to coat apple rings, then fried to perfection with an apple cider syrup! You can substitute whole wheat pancake batter or make your own. I have added my own recipe for apple cider syrup. The original called for reducing the cider by half and gave no amounts. This one is much quicker and yummy. I didn't have Bisquick, so made my own from a recipe on this site, substituting about 1/3 of the flour with whole wheat flour. From Carla Hall on the new ABC program, the Chew. Hootie! Ingredients:
1 cup bisquick baking mix (or whole wheat pancake mix) |
1 egg |
1/2 cup milk (i used soy) |
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or apple pie spice) |
1/2 lemon, zest of |
2 medium apples, pared and cored |
1 3/4 cups apple cider (or juice) |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1 -2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional) |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
