About the Recipe: Everyone loves pancakes, especially apple cakes made with fresh apples. The sweetness of the pancakes depends on the applesauce that you use. I can just imagine riding on a train like this and enjoying a chef’s pancake breakfast. How exciting!

Recipe Story:
Oregon apples were readily available to the chefs of the railroad and were frequently a part of the menus. Giant baked apples, apple pies, fried apple rings, and apple pancakes were served on the Union Pacific.”

Recipe from: The Union Pacific System, 150 Recipes for Apple Dishes, 1910 Eugene Register Guard.

A Taste of Oregon, Junior League of Eugene, 1980.

Cook’s Note: Keep in mind that this recipe was used a long time ago with sweetened applesauce. II found that I needed to add 2 to 4 Tablespoons flour so I could turn the cakes. Our purchased applesauce was unsweetened, which made the cakes a little tart. I also added 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla, which seemed to disappear in the finished product.
