Directions:
Prepare a 4 quart crock pot. Peel and core the apples then add them to the crock pot. Add the water and spices; stir well. Cover the crock pot and turn the heat to low.

Warm a frying pan with a wee bit of EVVO or vegetable oil. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the frying pan and fry on each side for 3-4 minutes per side. The pancakes should get a little bubbly when it’s time to turn them over or you will see them puff up and the sides will look cooked.
