Apple Pie Pancakes W Caramel Bourbon Glaze Food

APPLE PIE PANCAKES W/ CARAMEL BOURBON GLAZE

Steps:

• 1. In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of caramel topping and 3 Tbsp of bourbon.
• 2. Simmer on low heat while preparing pancake batter and pancakes.
• 3. In a large mixing bowl, combine Bisquick, egg, milk, apple pie spice and sugar.
• 4. Using a wire whisk, beat until batter is somewhat smooth.
• 5. Gently fold in the apples.
• 6. On a heated griddle or non-stick skillet, spray non-stick cooking spray. Pour just under 1/3 cup of the batter into the skillet. If using a large skillet, you should be able to get about 2 pancakes per batch. Don't overcrowd the skillet.
• 7. Cook until edges are dry and batter starts to bubble a little in the middle. Carefully turn the pancake over using a spatula. Once you have flipped the pancake, take a basting brush and dip into butter. Carefully spread the butter over the pancakes while they are in the skillet.
• 8. Place one pancake on a plate, add about 1 tablespoon of the bourbon glaze, top with another pancake and additional bourbon glaze.
• 9. Garnish with fried apple slices with cinnamon, if desired. Sprinkle with additional apple pie spice, if desired.

OLD-FASHIONED APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pate brisee into two 1/8-inch-thick circles to a diameter slightly larger than that of an 11-inch plate. Press one pastry circle into the pie plate. Place the other circle on waxed paper, and cover with plastic wrap. Chill all pastry until firm, about 30 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, lemon zest and juice, spices, and flour. Toss well. Spoon apples into pie pan. Dot with butter, and cover with remaining pastry circle. Cut several steam vents across top. Seal by crimping edges as desired. Brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with additional sugar.
• Bake until crust is brown and juices are bubbling, about 1 hour. Let cool on wire rack before serving.

CARAMEL-APPLE PANCAKES

Steps:

• To make syrup, melt 1/4 cup butter in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar; stir until dissolved. Add water; heat to boiling. Simmer 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat; add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
• To make pancake batter, in large bowl, beat Bisquick™ mix, milk, eggs, cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla with whisk.
• Heat skillet over medium heat; grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cupfuls batter into skillet. Once batter has stopped spreading and begins to set, place 1 apple round on top of each. Cook 2 to 3 minutes longer or until bubbles appear at surface and edges are dry. Turn; cook 2 minutes longer or until browned. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet before each to prevent apple slices from sticking.
• Serve immediately with syrup.
