Apple pancakes are a good and exciting breakfast for children. They are quick and easy to  make. These are light and fluffy. Apple pancakes can be made in several ways. Here I have sliced the apples and dipped into a cinnamon  pancake batter. The crispiness and juiciness of the apple slice inside complements the outer soft fluffy pancake. The saffron sauce will leave you licking your fingers.
