Apple Cinnamon Pancakes with Walnuts Prepare pancakes according to package directions for 10-12 pancakes. Apple walnut Topping 1 tbsp. cinnamon 2 small apples peeled and diced 1 diced apple with skin for serving 1 tbsp. butter, plus extra for serving 1/4 c. walnuts, plus extra for serving maple syrup or caramel sauce Heat butter in a medium size frying pan; sauté 2 peeled apples and 1/4 c. of walnuts until apples are soft, but not mushy. Cool slightly then add to batter. Cook pancakes on a hot griddle. Serve with additional butter, apples, walnuts and maple syrup or caramel sauce. Makes about 10-12 pancakes. I like to prepare the batter the night before to save time in the morning. You can also make a double batch and freeze them to use during the week.
