Two fall favorites come together in this seasonal recipe for a dish full of autumn flavor. Who can resist pumpkins and apples? This Pumpkin Pancake recipe gets an added flare when topped with an apple compote. Easy to make, even easier to eat.
Apple compote is a delicious and versatile dessert that is made from cooked apples. It can be served warm or cold and is often spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves. Compote is a great way to use up apples that are past their prime, and can be used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt, filling for pies and tart, or, in this case, added on top of pancakes!
