Quick Fluffy Apple Cinnamon Blinchiki

Enjoy these culturally inspired, quick, and fluffy pancake alternatives for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Try substituting Green Anjou, Seckel, or Asian pears for the apples and buckwheat flour for the wheat flour (serves 2):
-------------------
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup AP flour
2 T brown sugar
1/4 t baking powder
Pinch-salt
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg
1/2 cup + 1 T Granny Smith apples-shredded
1/2 cup milk
1 egg-separated
1/4 t vanilla extract
cooking spray or butter
-------------------
1. Mix flours, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
2. Mix apples, milk, egg yolk, and vanilla.
3. Add wet ingredients to the dry and mix well (batter should be smooth).
4. Beat egg white to medium peaks and gently fold into the batter.
5. Heat skillet and spray with cooking spray (or melt butter) and ladle in the batter; cook 1-2 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
6. Serve warm with sliced apples (sprinkled with lemon juice to prevent oxidation) and organic vanilla yogurt.
