Apple Pie Pancake

Well, this isn't exactly apple pie in breakfast form (who says apple pie isn't breakfast already anyway), but it is a healthy, all-inclusive breakfast that is quick to make, hot, and delicious; and does have the apple, cinnamon, and nut flavors. Just not the buttery crust and whipped cream topping. 
Apple Pie Pancake
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
2 Tablespoons hot cereal mix (or oats, or flax, or a mix)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 small finely chopped apple, peeled or not, whatever kind
1/3 - 1/2 cup milk of choice, depending on desired thickness of pancakes
optional: pinch of salt, splash of vanilla extract, sugar, honey, or other sweetener

Heat a little oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. 
In a small bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. Fold in the apple. Stir in the milk. Pour batter into prepared pan - I like to make one large, thick fluffy pancake that could serve two, but you can make miniature pancakes too.
Cook for a few minutes per side until golden.
I topped my pancake with some almond hazelnut butter, chopped walnuts, and additional chopped apple.
