(Post modified on 10/1/23.)

I like serving these pancakes with Maple syrup, bacon, and eggs. They are always a hit in our house.

fall apples

Every year my dad makes his own apple cider by squeezing the juice from fresh fall apples with his cider press. I’m always on the lookout for ways to use the cider he gives us, and this recipe is a perfect fit.
