Pumpkin Pancakes with Apple Cider Compote (continued)

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Stir
in cider and orange juice until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and
stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in pie filling and
butter. Remove from the heat; set aside and keep warm.
For pancakes, place oats in a food processor; cover and process until
ground. Transfer to a large bowl; add the flour, brown sugar, baking
powder, pie spice, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl, whisk the
egg, milk, pumpkin, syrup and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just
until moistened; fold in 1/2 cup pecans.
Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot griddle; flatten with the back
of a spoon. Turn when the undersides are browned; cook until the
second sides are golden brown. Serve with compote and remaining
pecans. Store leftover compote in the refrigerator.
Yield: 14 pancakes (5 cups compote).

Editor’s Note: Leftover compote may be served with hot cereal or vanilla ice cream. It’s also a tasty condiment for pork chops.
