Silver Dollar Sorcery

Name: Amount:
raisins 4 Tbsp
water or enough to cover raisins 0.50 cup
reduced-fat pancake mix 1 cup
reduced -fat semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 Tbsp
Nonstick cooking spray 1 spray
apples, peeled, cored and cut into thin sliced 2 ea
vanilla bean (or 1 tsp. vanilla extract) 1 ea
cinnamon 1 tsp
low-calorie margarine 1 Tbsp
nonfat whipped topping 0.25 cup
1:

Soak the raisins in water (make sure all the raisins are covered) for 30 minutes. (Drain. Reserve the water for later use.) Raisins will plump up.

 2:

Prepare the pancake mix according to the package directions. Add the semisweet baking chips.

 3:

Spray a pan with the nonstick spray, then heat the pan over medium-low heat. Sprinkle a few drops of water on the pan. When the water sizzles and disappears, the pan is ready.

 4:

Drop the pancake mixture onto the hot pan, using a tablespoon to make 12 silver-dollar pancakes. When the pancake bubbles on top, turn and brown them on the other side. When done, remove from the pan.

 5:

Spray a pan with nonstick spray and place it over low to medium heat. Add the sliced apples and cook 3-5 minutes. Add the raisins, reserved raisin water, vanilla bean (or vanilla extract), and cinnamon. Cook until the liquid is reduced by three-fourths, about 3-5 minutes. Then, stirring the mixture, add the margarine until it it melted.

 6:

Set 3 warm silver-dollar pancakes on each plate. Spoon the warm apple mixture over the pancakes. Add a dollop of the nonfat whipped topping, if you wish. Serve.
