Preparation

Step 1

1. In a bowl, combine the shredded sweet potatoes, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, honey, egg and egg whites with a fork until well blended.
2. Heat a nonstick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, and drop about 2 Tbsp. mixture (about 3 inches each) into hot pan. Flatten slightly with a spatula and cook pancakes over medium heat until golden on both sides. Set cooked pancakes on plate and continue cooking until all pancakes are cooked.
3. Apple Walnut Topping: In a skillet, add all the ingredients and cook over medium high heat, stirring, until the apples are tender and the brown sugar has melted to form a syrup. This is so good, it would even be great over ice cream!

The perfect addition for any brunch. The indulgent Apple Walnut Topping with the Sweet Potato Pancakes makes this a hard combination to beat. Don't let shredding the potatoes scare you away from this delicious dish as potatoes are easily shredded with the shredding blade of the food processor.
