After tasting a scrumptious grilled apple and cheese sandwich, I decided to try the same flavors with pancakes. The idea of adding bacon came from my bacon-fanatic sister. —Kim Korver, Orange City, Iowa

Ingredients

2 large eggs
1 cup 2% milk
2 cups biscuit/baking mix
8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
2 large apples, peeled and shredded
1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Butter and maple syrup, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk until blended. Add biscuit mix and bacon; stir just until moistened. Fold in apples and cheese.
Lightly grease a griddle; heat over medium heat. Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto griddle, spreading batter with the back of a spoon as necessary. Cook until bubbles on top begin to pop and bottoms are golden brown. Turn; cook until second side is golden brown. If desired, serve with butter and syrup.

We really didn't care for these. They weren't awful like we couldn't eat them, they just tasted a little odd to us. Maybe we're just too used to sweet pancakes.

What a deliciously different recipe! My husband and I really enjoyed these pancakes with our brunch and I can't wait to make them again!
