Apple Dollar Pancakes

These delicious apple-flavored flapjacks would serve well as a quick weekend breakfast or a side dish for pork chops or roasted chicken. A bit of sour cream in the batter makes these pancakes less sweet than most. Try them with powdered sugar, sliced bananas or your favorite jam in place of the maple syrup.

Recipe Ingredients:

3 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup pure maple syrup

Cooking Directions:

1. Combine egg yolks, sour cream, apple, flour, baking powder and cinnamon; stir well.
2. Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until peaks form; fold into yolk mixture.
3. Drop batter by 1/4 cup onto a hot, lightly greased griddle. Cook until golden brown, turning once. Serve with maple syrup.
