Favorite Pancake Mix and any additional ingredients it requires like milk, eggs, oil, etc
3 medium apples gala for sweet, granny for more tart
10 oz bacon
3 tbs butter
2 tbs brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup maple syrup
½ teaspoon pie spice

Cook bacon in a large fry pan or bake it in the oven. If cooking in a skillet, wipe the skillet clean before using it to cook pancakes. Once cooked, cut or crumble bacon into bite-sized pieces.
10 oz bacon
While bacon is cooking, peel apples and remove the cores. Grate one apple and cube the other two.
3 medium apples
Mix up pancake batter according to package instructions and stir in grated apple and ⅓ of the crumbled bacon. *
Favorite Pancake Mix
Lightly oil your skillet or fry pan* and heat over medium heat. Pour ~¼ cup of batter into the skillet. The size of the skillet determines how many pancakes you can cook at once. Make sure to allow room for the batter to spread.
Cook pancakes until the edges are cooked and bubbles are forming on the top, and the bottom is browned. * Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is browned. Remove from skillet and cover with foil or a plate to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
In a medium saucepan, combine cubed apples, butter, brown sugar, pie spice, and cinnamon. Stir over medium heat, covering with a lid between stirs, until the apples are soft and can be easily pierced with a fork, about 5 minutes. Once cooked, stir in the syrup and the remaining crumbled bacon.
3 medium apples, 3 tbs butter, 2 tbs brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon pie spice, ½ cup maple syrup
Top pancakes with apple bacon syrup mixture and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

*You can put in as much of the bacon as you want. I like to save some for the apple topping. If you put it all in, you will still get a delicious-tasting bacon pancake that is even more loaded with bacon! Can’t go wrong!
*To oil the fry pan or skillet, add a little vegetable oil or canola oil to the pan, carefully use a paper towel to spread it around, and wipe up the excess. Every time before adding new batter to the pan, carefully wipe it with an oiled paper towel.
*If you notice the pancakes getting too dark/cooking too fast, turn the heat to medium/low.
