Apple Cinnamon Pikelets
These yummy pikelets were featured on the TRTLMT blog in 2016. We loooooooooove pikelets in our houses, so when I realised the freezer was empty and there were no more lunchbox snacks left, I thought I would get cooking. Our fruit bowl was overflowing with apples, so I thought why not whip up a batch of apple cinnamon pikelets? Anything with apple and / or cinnamon is always a winner in our house. These make for a great breakfast served with a little honey, but they make for an even better dessert topped with a big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream! - Peta
Recipe Tester Feedback: "We have been fans of Peta's pikelets since trying her Fluffy Vanilla Pikelets in her book Ready, Steady, Lunch!, so I was very excited to try this recipe. They were light and fluffy but more importantly they were DELICIOUS! What a great way to get some extra fruit into your kids and use up your not-so-fresh fruit at the same time. I would freeze them in portions for lunchboxes or a quick snack on the go." - Sharree
