Fried Apples Pancake Breakfast; Pancakes topped with Roasted Apples and Fresh Blackberry Compo

Good morning friends!

This beautiful fall weather calls for apples in every incarnation!
This morning I woke up thinking fried apples...mmmm!  Literally, the minute I opened my eyes that food thought just came right into my mind:)  My version of fried apples is a simple dish that takes very little to come together, but smells and tastes wonderful!  My kitchen was filled with cinnamon goodness.
I was already making pancakes with this so I decided to add the apple chips I had put on last night's salad as well as some blackberry compo I had made the other day as an ice cream topping that heats up quickly to use with a variety of dishes.
A beautiful Sunday morning breakfast just seems to make the day start out better:) Hope you enjoy!


Fried Apples

Ingredients: 

4 whole apples; washed, cored and sliced into wedges
1 tsp agave nectar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup water

Incorporate all ingredients in a large skillet. Cook on medium heat with lid on for 20-30 minutes.  Check here and there to make sure you still have liquid.  When most liquid is absorbed add 1 TB of olive oil, turn up the heat and give a quick fry.

Pancake/Ice Cream toppings:

Apple Chips

Ingredients:

1 apple; sliced very thinly using a knife or mandolin
2 TB olive oil

Using a cookie sheet drizzle 1 TB olive oil on. Spread apple along sheet with very little overlap. Drizzle with the remaining oil. Bake at 400 till crispy.

Blackberry Compo

Ingredients:

2 cups blackberries or your favorite fruit
1/2 cup water
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp agave nectar

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan. Cook on medium heat until half of the liquid is reduced. Turn off the heat, and allow to cool a bit for liquid to thicken up. About 10min. This is also a yummy ice cream topping.
