These pancakes are heavenly, and it's all thanks to the syrup! As soon as I smelled the aroma of the amaretto wafting through the kitchen, I knew I was in for a treat. I made the pancakes using "soy buttermilk" and used McIntosh apples in the syrup because I had a lot on hand. My mom and I had this for dinner tonight, and we both loved it. We felt like we were in a trendy restaurant. I can't wait to try the syrup on other things as well. Thanks for another keeper, Rita!

We really enjoyed the topping on these. Because DH is diabetic I made some changes. I made seperate syrups, one with sugar free, one with regular. For his I added a little melted butter and the rest in a tiny casserole pot, and for mine I followed the recipe after adding it to the nut pan, and after cooking it a bit I put it in another tiny casserole becuase I had cut back on the quantity using about 1/4 cup syrup each at most and it was cooking down too fast. I 'm thinking my quantity of Amaretto was higher then the recipes - I just poured: ) I sauted the apples seperately with butter, spices and more Amaretto and a little water. This allowed both of us to enjoy them with our syrups, and I know for me if I had cooked the apples in the syrup it might have been too sweet. We both like that the syrup was sweet with out being edgy - sicky sweet, I don't know if it's the butter or liquor that mellows it, but it's delish! We found the cake part of the pancakes to be a bit dry and rather bland, so I added a little extra sugar, more spice along with some nutmeg and vanilla, this helped except for the dryness, I think a little more butter in the batter would help or maybe grating the apples instead of dicing. This half recipe made at least 3 servings of pancakes but just 2 on the apples, so I would increase them a little. Thanks for sharing Rita, we'll be making these again!
