  • _____
  • FOR THE PANCAKES:
  • 3 whole Large Apples
  • 1/2 cups Milk, Plus More If Needed
  • 1/2 cups Sour Cream
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted, Plus More For The Pan
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1-1/2 cup Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 dash Allspice

Method

  • Note: RESERVE one large pear slice and blend with the pancake batter.
  • This process is basically simple (don't be afraid of the long list), but you will need a blender and about 6 apples (less if they are large). I used about 7 small apples.
  • FOR GLAZE:
  • Melt three tablespoons of butter in a large skillet or saucepan on medium high heat. Once hot, throw in sliced apples and pears (remember to reserve one slice of pear for the pancake batter). Let simmer for 3-5 minutes. Add spices. Add about 3 tablespoons of the brown sugar. Let fuse together until sugar is melted and glossy and the apples and pears are completely softened (but not mushy).
  • Take off heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  • FOR THE PANCAKES:
  • Heat a skillet on medium heat until water scatters. Throw apples, one pear slice, milk, sour cream and sugar in a blender and mix until smooth. Add the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla then blend those as well.
  • Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl. Pour wet ingredients into the dry and mix until combined. If ingredients seem a bit dry (it will depend on the size of the apples), add a splash of milk or a little more sour cream.
  • Add some butter to the skillet and dump three ladles of batter into the pan. Cook until bubbly, then flip.
  • While the pancakes cook, heat a small saucepan on medium high heat and add the rest of the leftover butter and sugar and water (from glaze ingredients) and boil until ingredients combine.
  • Meantime, take half of the pears and apples that are cooked and puree them in a blender. Once the glaze in the saucepan combines and simmers for 5-7 minutes, add the puree to it and continue to simmer for another 3 -5 minutes.
  • Serve stacks of pancakes with apple and pear chunks, and with glaze dribbled over the top.
  • You simply must make these for breakfast tomorrow. Your tummy and your tastebuds will be extremely grateful.
