Here on the East Coast we are beginning a wonderful time of year, apple picking time! 
All the farm stands are loaded with fresh fruit picked from nearby orchards. There are HUGE amounts of recipes to use this very versatile fruit. Even the secret ingredient on last night’s Iron Chef America was apples.
Here’s a recipe I tried for Sunday breakfast. A real winner with my family!
APPLE PANCAKES
2 cups Bisquick
1/2 c. water
1 cup apple juice
1 eggs
1 1/2 Tablespoons cinnamon
3 c. Granny Smith apple slices, about 3 med.
1/4 c. butter, melted
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Combine Bisquick, water, apple juice, egg and cinnamon. Mix well. In a skillet, saute apples in melted butter over medium-high heat until tender. Remove skillet from heat. Pour apples in batter.
On a flat skillet brown pancakes on both sides. Transfer to a baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven for about 5 - 6 minutes.

On Sept. 17, 1787, the U.S. Constitution was signed by thirty-nine brave men who changed the course of history. Now Constitution Day is a time for us to continue their legacy and develop habits of citizenship in a new generation of Americans.
There’s no better place to explore the Constitution than at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. If you can’t make it there in person, they have a great site full of information on the most important document ever written in United State’s history.
