 The only work is chopping up the two apples.  
The pancakes by themselves are delicious as well if you don't want to make the topping.

In small skillet, put:
2 tart apples, chopped into cubes, (peel optional)
2 Tb unsalted butter
1/2 c maple syrup
2 T brown sugar
1 1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t baking powder (for lighter pancakes, but optional)
Cook over medium heat until apples soften.
Keep warm for serving.

 meanwhile for pancakes-
Mix dry ingredients in small bowl:
1 1/2 c flour
3 t baking powder
1 T honey, or agave, etc. 
1 cinnamon
1 t salt

 Mix wet ingredients in medium bowl:
1 1/4 c milk
1 egg
1 t vanilla
Mix in 3 T cooled butter (so egg won't cook)

Nordic curry

This is a mild anytime curry.  Takes 10-15 minutes. The original (dairy) sauce is from Magnus Nilsson. I double the sauce so there's plenty. Especially because I like to add vegetables and proteins.

Its similar to an Alfredo sauce but because of the way you put it together, it is very evenly distributed and doesn't feel heavy. Tastes great with fish and chicken, so far.  Cook  12 oz. spaghetti in generously salted boiling water.  While waiting for the pasta, slice of a couple thin strips from a lemon for garnish (if desired)  Zest  1 lemon into a large sauce pan (the spaghetti will go into it later)  and juice the lemon , setting the juice aside. Add 1/2 c. heavy cream and  4 Tbsp. unsalted butter to the lemon zest   and let it melt over low hea...
