Ingredients
- 1 cooking apple (such as Jonathan or Granny Smith), cored and finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice or ground cinnamon
- Apple pie spice or ground cinnamon (optional)
- Fresh fruit (optional)
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice or ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup fat-free milk
- 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Directions
- In a small bowl combine apple and lemon juice; set aside. In a medium bowl combine whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, the 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice, and salt. In another small bowl combine milk, egg white, and oil; beat with a rotary beater or wire whisk.
- Add milk mixture all at once to flour mixture; stir just until moistened (the batter should be lumpy). Gently fold in apple mixture.
- Coat an unheated griddle or heavy nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium heat until a few drops of water dance across the surface. For each pancake, pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle; spread batter into 3- to 4-inch circles.
- Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until pancakes are golden brown, turning when pancake surfaces are bubbly and edges are slightly dry. In a small bowl stir together applesauce and the 1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice; serve with pancakes.
- If desired, sprinkle with additional apple pie spice and serve with fresh fruit.
