I like buckwheat pancakes topped with the first flush of peppery fall apples, but storage apples are also a real gift through the winter and spring. Goldrushes are my favorite, but Granny Smiths will work just fine. Although this treat goes well on buckwheat pancakes, it’s a great addition to any of the pancakes in this chapter.
