This is a very healthy and simple dish. The recipe does not have to be exactly as below. The amount of apple topping can be changed according to taste. For the apple topping, I have used canola oil in the past. But I prefer butter since it gives a nice aroma and flavor.

- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 cup 1% milk

- Or you can use a pancake mix from store
Apple Topping:
- 2 small green apples (Granny Smith) peeled, cored and cut into thin slices

Make the pancakes:
