Ingredients

Spiced Apple Topping

• 4 cups SweeTango® apples (about 3 apples), peeled and finely chopped
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• ½ cup light or dark brown sugar
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup water
• Optional: ¼ tsp ground nutmeg and/or ¼ tsp ground clove

Pancakes

• 1 cup SweeTango® apples (about 1 apple), peeled and finely chopped
• 1 large egg, separated
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, plus more for cooking
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1¼ cup milk of choice
• 1⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
• ½ tsp kosher salt

Directions

1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add SweeTango® apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and water.
3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples have softened and the mixture has a jam-like consistency (about 10-15 minutes).
4. Set aside (can be served hot or at room temperature and will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days).

Pancakes

1. In a large mixing bowl, sift or whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolk, vanilla, milk, and melted butter.
3. In a third bowl, beat egg white just until stiff peaks form.
4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in apples, then gently fold in egg whites, taking care not to over-mix.
5. Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup batter for each pancake. Flip after 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the uncooked side. Continue cooking for 2 minutes, or until both sides are lightly golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more batter and adjusting the pan heat as needed.
6. Top with spiced apples and maple syrup if desired.
