Apple Cinnamon Fun

When you wake up on Saturday at noon to a bunch of Cubans escreaming, this is what you should do.


Put 2 c all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp sugar, 3 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 3 tsp cinnamon in a bowl. Mix in 1.5 c milk, 2 egg whites, and 1/4 c canola oil. Then stir in a large granny smith apple cubed, and cook on low heat so the apples get cooked too. Even a mumsy who didn't think she would like them couldn't help exclaiming over the pancakes' excellence.


And then after that, you should do this:


Put 1.5 c rolled oats, 1/2 c packed brown sugar, 3 tsp cinnamon, and 2-3 tbsp melted butter in a bowl and then add half of it to a bowl with 3 large granny smiths chopped (note: I highly recommend peeling the apples, and then you eat the peels as a fun snack). Put the apple mix in a baking pan (8x8, 9x9, whatever), and then spread the remainder of the dry stuff over the top and bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes until the top is crispy brown and the apples are cooked. Remember to smell it before you indulge!
