Cinnamon Apple Butter Pancakes
Name me something more ideal than starting your Sunday morning off with pancakes? I’ll wait… Although I went through a mini love-hate relationship with these beauties as I couldn’t figure out the right ingredients to get that perfect flip, I am happy to announce that pancakes and I are back in good graces and our long-term relationship is continuing beautifully. One of my favorite things about pancakes is the blank canvas they provide you with to fold in or top with any flavors you see fit. As fall embodies so many of my favorite ingredients, and my recent apple butter creation is the new star of my kitchen, I knew exactly what I wanted this chilly Sunday morning to feature: cinnamon apple butter pancakes.
