- 2/3 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

Instructions
Apple filling
- Put diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and water in a sauce pan.
- Simmer on low until apples soften. You may require more water to prevent burning.

- In a separate bowl mix oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients, and fold in shredded apple.
- Pour a 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto a buttered and hot skillet or pan.
- When the pancakes bubble, flip and cook until golden brown.
- Serve with apple compote on top!
