Tasty and filling! I did add cinnamon and nutmeg to the apples. The lemons are great to please the eye but really not needed. Nice to se my Husband have a pancake without (tons) of syrup! Thanks for posting this recipe!

Excellent! The pancake was a wonderful consistency, and the apples pulled it all together. (I didn't use the lemon slices; personal preference.) This made an excellent Shrove Tuesday dinner, and it'll make excellent breakfasts in the Sundays to come! -j
