Buttermilk pancakes with hunks of apples, tremendous cinnamon flavor and a sprinkling of crunchy walnuts over top. Because apples were made for cinnamon and walnuts! The threesome belong together. Truly.
This is the time of the year when I start longing for chilly mornings and apple season. Trips to the pumpkin patch and changing leaves. I start wishing time would speed up just a bit so we can get there faster.
Don’t hate on me.
Fall makes my world go around. I practically live for it. And winter too but that is getting way ahead of myself.
As I made and ate these warmly spiced, apple-spiked pancakes I quit wishing. It was a delicious taste of fall and a reminder of all we have to look forward to.
Ready or not it is just right around the corner. Isn’t it?
Humor me.

A good Winter breakfast for sure.
So, after a weekend where my friend’s boyfriend lovingly made my friends and I a breakfast of pancakes and I hadn’t the heart to tell them I hate pancakes–I am re-thinking my pancake-hate. They weren’t fantastic, but also not horrible, and the versatility of pancakes is awesome. These look like a great version. Perhaps I’ll try them!

Apples were DEFINITELY made for cinnamon and walnuts! My mom makes apple crisp each year with oodles of cinnamon and a heavy handed cup of walnuts. These pancakes remind me of her. :)
