Apple Pancake

One of my favorite holiday traditions is Christmas morning breakfast. Nowadays my family is scattered about and we get together for Christmas Eve, but I still like to get up early and make something from my childhood. This year it's an apple pancake covered with sweet whipped cream and Vermont maple syrup.

From my family to yours, We wish you Health, Love and Happiness. Happy Holidays...Christine
