Pumpkin Patch Pancakes and Apple Cider Syrup

Pumpkin Patch Pancakes

Mix up your favorite pancake mix according to package directions. For every cup of dry mix used, mix in the following:
¼ cup canned pumpkin
½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice (If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand you can make your own. See recipe below.) Cook pancakes as you normally would.

Apple Cider Syrup

1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 cups apple juice or apple cider (I mixed one packet apple cider with 2 cups hot water... it was perfect for us)

In a sauce pan mix together, sugar, cornstarch, and pumpkin spice. Stir in apple juice or apple cider. Bring to a boil, remembering to stir occasionally. Boil until desired thickness. Remove from heat and serve over Pumpkin Patch Pancakes or give it a try over regular pancakes.

The perfect Autumn breakfast.... with lots of leftover delicious syrup!
