Instructions

Quark Pancakes

Whisk together all ingredients and set aside for 5 minutes. Cook pancakes on medium heat (350 degrees Fahrenheit on griddle) for a couple of minutes on each side. Makes about 16 small pancakes.

Apple Sauce

Peel, core and chop apples into medium sized pieces. Immeditely toss in the lemon juice.
Combine with water, spices, salt and syrup in a medium sized pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir, cover with a lid, and cook on medium for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and puree to your liking (I use an immersion blender and I like some chunks, so I didn't puree all of my apples).
Add vanilla and stir. Serve warm or cold with the pancakes and lastly top with more quark.
