Serve these apple pancakes on their own for breakfast or with maple syrup and ice-cream for a lovely dessert.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup wholemeal self-raising flour
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 green apple, peeled, cored and sliced
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 3 tbsp butter

Method:

In a mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, egg, vanilla and milk.

Heat a frying pan and add a little of the butter. Pour 3/4 cup of batter into the pan and arrange apples in a circle on top of the batter.

Brush the apples with a little of the melted butter in the pan and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Carefully turn making sure not to dislodge the apples and cook on the other side.

Notes:

• I serve these with maple syrup but they are fine on their own.
• I often serve these with ice-cream for dessert.
