I have been making these pancakes for a couple years now. They are so much healthier than normal pancakes (especially if you use applesauce in place of oil) and they don't get boring after the first 3 bites either. They don't sit so heavy in the tummy and have a great taste!

I had high hopes for this recipe, as we enjoy our traditional German apple pancakes each weekend. Unfortunately, this recipe didn't compare. Instead of including the cinnamon in the recipe, I sprinkled it on top with some sugar. This left the pancakes tasting a little bland. In addition, I used grated Gala apples, which didn't pack the punch I had hoped for. I suggest thinly slicing the apples and placing them into the batter once in the pan. This not only looks great, but delivers a tasty amount of apple in each bite :)

I made specifically to use for training treats for the dogs. They are healthy and wholesome. The humans however complained that they didnt get any! So I made a batch for the family and a seperate batch for the dogs. They are very tasty and freeze beautifully!

These are good! I used dried apples and added a banana and some vanilla. A great way to use up some extra yogurt!

Yum Yum Yum! I think it would taste great with some raisins sprinkled in too. Next time I will add that and maybe some walnuts also.

I made them according to the original recipe, used vanilla yogurt and a golden delicious apple. I thought they were pretty bland, but OK. My toddler put away two of them though, so I will keep making them for her. Next time I will try adding a little more spice to the batter.

This pancake is very good, I certainly will make these again. As mentioned in prior reviews these pancakes are dense but not overpoweringly so. It's just the right amount of denseness. In my opinion this adds to the overall heartiness of the pancake. They do bubble when ready to be turned but not as much as the store bought mixes. I also found thaby using a griddle these pancakes were forgiving if my attention was turned elsewhere. As long as they are over a low medium heat they come out perfect. My only complaint is that the apple did not come thru as much as I'd hoped. I used a mcintosh apple perhaps next time I'll use a granny smith. Also the pancakes were a bit bland. Next time I will add a bit of vanilla extract and maybe a smidge of nutmeg and sugar. Just to jazz up the flavor. All in all it's a great base recipe guaranteed to warm your heart on a cold, yucky morning.

I made a haf batch (just to use up leftover yogurt). I used applesauce instead of apples. They were so yummy, I bought more yogurt, made a full batch and froze them. They toast well once frozen -- I think the yogurt keeps them moist. Yummy.

Loved these pancakes! They had a nice soft texture, combined with a little firmness from the apples. The flavor was a nice change from regular pancakes. I'll definitely make them again.

I was looking foward to making these. I sub'ed applesauce for the oil, kept everthing the same, not sweet at all, which I guess is OK, but the kids were not big fans! It was yummy with maple syrup, I guess you have to play with the ingrediants a little if you want sweet.

I'm no pancake coinneuseur, so perhaps you should take this review with a grain of salt. I thought they were fine, but regular pancakes. Then again, maybe that's bc I used our complete pancake mix just to get rid of it. Still, since the ingredients pretty much match it, I'm a little skeptical. They were good, and I like the apple pieces and the yogurt, but I didn't see that they were any more moist than other pancakes. Still, its a versatile recipe and bf liked them. I used strawberry yogurt--no plain yogurt in the house--and it worked just fine. Thanks for the recipe!

I love these pancakes. I make them with homemade yogurt which is very tart. I add between 1/4 to 1/2 cup of crushed walnuts to this. The walnuts give a nice balance to the sweetness of the apple. I make them every Sunday morning. They are great for when the weather turns chilly.

Great way to use up some homemade yogurt! I made it with half wheat flour to add a little more nutritional value, and chopped the apples into tiny pieces. The kids loved it - this one is staying in my recipe book!

I did not care for this recipe as it is. I had to make a bunch of additions before I was finally somewhat satisfied. I added more spices, more apple, about a 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/2c of oats. I thought the original recipe was bland. My family likes sweeter pancakes.

I am trying to find healthy breakfast options for my children and myself. This is difficult because I like sweets. I loved the pancakes after my modifications. I added just enough sugar to give it a little bit of sweetness but not overwhelming. My children liked these pancakes very much! Here are my substitutions: I used 1 ¼ cup WHEAT FLOUR + 1 ¼ cup ALL PURPOSE FLOUR; added 2 tablespoons of SPLENDA; APPLESAUCE instead of OIL; used SKIM MILK, LOW FAT YOGURT; I SHREDDED the APPLES and to make sure they ended up FLUFFY, I let the DOUGH SIT in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. These are good cold or for next day also.

This was just okay. The best thing about these is that they're still pretty good when cold or reheated. My favourite pancake recipes on allrecipes are still Easy Pancakes and Oatmeal and Wheat Flour Blueberry Pancakes.
