       Gingerbread Pancakes with Caramelized Apples
       Celebrate Christmas morning (or any special occasion) with these
       warmly spiced gingerbread pancakes topped with gooey caramelized
       apples.
       ...
       Caramelized Apples
       2 tbsp butter
       3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and very thinly sliced
       ¼ cup lightly packed brown sugar
       ½ tsp ground cinnamon
       ½ cup apple juice or water
       1 tsp cornstarch
       Pancakes
       1 cup whole wheat flour
       1 cup all-purpose flour
       ¼ cup lightly packed brown sugar
       2 tsp ground cinnamon
       2 tsp ground ginger
       1-1/2 tsp baking powder
       ½ tsp each baking soda and salt
       ¼ tp each ground nutmeg and ground cloves
       1-1/2 cups buttermilk
       1 egg
       2 tbsp molasses
       2 tbsp butter, melted
       1 tsp vanilla
       To make caramelized apples, melt butter over medium-high heat in
       a 10-inch, non-stick skillet. Add apples slices. Cook and stir
       until apples begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle brown
       sugar and cinnamon over apples. Mix well and cook for 2 more
       minutes. Whisk together apple juice (or water) and cornstarch
       until lump free. Add to apples in skillet. Cook until sauce
       thickens and apples reach desired degree of tenderness. Don’t
       let them get mushy! Keep warm until ready to serve.
       To make pancakes, preheat griddle to medium high heat. Combine
       both flours, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, baking soda, salt,
       nutmeg and cloves in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl,
       whisk together buttermilk, egg, molasses, butter and vanilla.
       Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix just until dry
       ingredients are moistened.
       Spray griddle lightly with cooking spray. Spoon batter by
       ½-cupfuls onto hot griddle and spread to make a 5-inch circle.
       Cook until undersides are lightly browned. Flip pancakes and
       cook until other sides are lightly browned, about 2 more
       minutes. Serve pancakes topped with warm caramelized apples.
