Today’s breakfast gift brings two great seasonal flavors together – cranberries and apples. Â The pancake all begins with some complete pancake mix, the kind you only have to add water to. Â I want to keep your morning simple. Â I used Hungry Jack brand mix. Â The Apple Pancakes with Cranberry Syrup get their wonderful apple flavor from some applesauce along with cinnamon. Â This batter is thick so you may need to help spread it out in the skillet once you pour it.
Then they get a topped with a simple homemade syrup made from maple syrup, cranberries, and apple juice.  Combine the syrup ingredients in a sauce pan. Bring to all to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes or until the cranberries pop. Remove from heat. Serve those simple apple pancakes topped with this festive cranberry syrup.
I thought this syrup was the perfect compliment to the pancakes. Â The great thing is the syrup you can make it ahead of time and re-heat before serving. You are gonna love these apple pancakes with cranberry syrup.
