Make your favorite pancake recipe. Wash the apples, core, and slice into thin wedges. Add the apples to the pancake batter. Melt the butter or bacon grease in a heavy skillet and fry pancakes as usual. They may take a little longer to ensure that the apple is cooked.

To serve, place pancakes on plate, add a butter pat and pour heated maple syrup over the top.
