Test Kitchen Approved

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.
