Pumpkin Apple Pancakes
As brightly colored trees and fuzzy checkered flannels catch our eyes at every glance, we’re reminded it’s the autumn harvest season. Here in Washington State, apples and pumpkins top the charts among the classic fall foods you’ll find at local farm stands.
In this harvest spirit, along with cool crisp mornings, these pancakes make a delicious way to celebrate the change of seasons and the Earth’s bounty. With the warmth of spice and a touch of sweetness, Pumpkin Apple Pancakes are food for body and soul.
