    Pancakes with Apple Compote for Rosh Hashanah!

    It's fall and I'm eating up everything apple and everything spice. With the Jewish high holidays coming up this weekend I was trying to think of how to incorporate all these fall feelings into a special treat for the blog! For the big Jewish holidays I like to make a special or unique treat that plays off of a traditional treat of that holiday. So for Rosh Hashanah this year I decided to play off of the customary apple cake and instead make apple pancakes! Most Rosh Hashanah cakes are made with fresh apples and honey to represent the hopes for a fruitful and sweet upcoming year. So, I created a spiced pancake with buttered brown sugar apples and topped with honey maple granola to kick off a super sweet new year and a happy fall!

    Jewish Food

    As you may know from my other Jewish recipes posts, my strongest connection with Judaism is the relation with food and culture, which mostly came from my relationship with my grandmother on my father's side (aka my Jewish side). This recipe however was particularly fun because I got to make these pancakes on a trip back to California and share them with my family. Although my grandmother is no longer with us, I made these pancakes extra sweet in memory of her.

    So whether you are making this for Rosh Hashanah or just for a fun breakfast on the weekend, I hope that these meet your needs for all things fall, apple, and honey! If you try out this recipe be sure to post a pic to Instagram (or any social media) and tag me on insta. Or if you love a different Rosh Hashanah recipe, let me know about that too in the comments below!

    Notes

    - Large batch: This is a very large batch of pancakes. If you are making for a party or gathering, these are great. If not, you can store extra pancakes in the freezer after and jar up your extra apples and granola separately. And refrigerate the apple sauce.
    - Time saving: To save time you can use store bought granola and apple butter.
