Ingredients

3

tablespoons butter

2

apples, peeled, sliced

2

tablespoons packed brown sugar

1

tablespoon bourbon

2

slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled

2

                        cups Original Bisquick™ mix

1

cup milk

2

eggs

2

cups real maple or maple-flavored syrup

2

tablespoons bourbon

1

teaspoon butter

Preparation

In 10-inch skillet, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add apple slices; stir to coat with butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1 tablespoon bourbon and the bacon; continue to cook until apples are tender. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix pancake ingredients just until blended. Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat (375°F). Brush with vegetable oil if necessary (or spray with cooking spray before heating). For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook until edges are dry and bubbles form on top. Turn; cook other side until golden brown.

In microwavable bowl or measuring cup, microwave syrup and 2 tablespoons bourbon on High until warm. Stir in 1 teaspoon butter until melted.

Serve pancakes with bourbon-apple-bacon sauce and bourbon-maple syrup.
