POTATO PANCAKES WITH CINNAMON APPLES

FOR THE POTATO PANCAKES:
1/2 cup Original Bisquick mix
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
3 cups finely shredded uncooked potatoes
FOR THE CINNAMON APPLES:
3 medium unpeeled tart cooking apples (Granny Smith, Greening, Rome, Braeburn), sliced (3 cups)
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

TO MAKE THE POTATO PANCAKES:
In large bowl, mix Bisquick, milk, salt and eggs until blended. Stir in potatoes.

Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 375 degrees F. (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.)
Grease with butter if necessary.

For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter from cup or pitcher onto hot griddle, spreading each slightly to make 4-inch pancake. Cook until dry around edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown. Keep pancakes warm.

TO MAKE THE CINNAMON APPLES:
In 2-quart microwavable casserole or large microwavable bowl, mix apple slices, water, sugar and cinnamon. Cover and microwave on High 5 minutes. Uncover and stir. Microwave uncovered about 5 minutes longer or until apples are tender when pierced with fork. Serve with Potato Pancakes.

Makes: 6 servings (three 4-inch pancakes each)
