My Sundays are lazy...
They are for making a great breakfast and doing things at your own pace at home. I've been seeing so many different Bananas Foster variations around Pinterest and on all the blogs. Have you seen them? There's french toast, ice cream, parfaits, smoothies, and even pies. So all these yummy dishes gave me inspiration to take a favorite dessert of mine and turn it into something different.
Like pancakes.
Not just any pancakes, but some worthy of the season, and a lazy Sunday.
One of my favorite desserts for this time of year is Apple Crisp. I love the tartness of the apples along with the streusel crumble crust. A match made in heaven for me! So why not turn this into some scrumptious pancakes. Let's do it!
These pancakes are bursting with apples and one side is topped with a traditional streusel filled with brown sugar, oatmeal and butter. This can't be beat! Once you top on side of the cooking pancakes with the topping and then flip it over to cook....oh my! You get a crunchy caramelized side to your pancake. It's just perfect!
These are pancakes the whole family will love.
Enjoy your lazy Sunday!

3 Tablespoons butter
In medium bowl, mix your topping brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cut in butter using pastry blender or fork until mixture is crumbly. Set aside.
In large bowl, stir all pancake ingredients up to the butter, until well blended. Heat a nonstick griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once heated add 1 Tablespoon of butter and swirl around to coat the pan. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan to form a pancake. Continue making 3 or 4 pancakes at a time.
Sprinkle each pancake evenly with about 2 Tablespoons of the topping. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbly on top and dry around edges. Flip and cook the streusel side until light golden brown around edges about 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds.
Add additional butter between batches of pancakes. Continue with additional batches of pancakes.
Serve streusel side up with warm syrup and butter.
