Well a cool day a couple of weekends ago I had a ton of apples from my mom who went to the orchard the day before. I didn't want to make an apple pie (too predictable and boring). So I scoured the internet and found this wonderful recipe for an apple puffed pancake. If you've never made a puffed pancake, its something to see. It rises super high in the oven and deflates while it cools. The texture of the pancake is smooth like a crepe but its thick like a regular pancake. The taste of this particular recipe goes soooo well on a cool autumn day. It makes for a great weekend breakfast or would go great with a holiday meal!

Oh my gosh. Shannon made this for Thanksgiving breakfast and my husband and I both went "wow"! It is truly a recipe you have to try.
We love it!! Add some kind of egg dish and you have a holiday memory. Thanks Shannon. Mom and Dale.
