This is my variation of a recipe published in Bon Appetit Magazine. I’ve changed it to include walnuts, increased the apple amount to 1/2 of an apple and scaled it down to two servings. Maple syrup on them is good but the pancakes are fine as is. Any apple seems to work, these were made with Cosmic Crisp.
