Wow- yum. I had some ricotta cheese in the fridge, and my latest craze is cinnamon and apples, so this came together naturally. I love coming up with different toppings for pancakes! If you use unsweetened applesauce, you may want to add a little honey. It’s a very freeform recipe, so adjust ingredient amounts to your liking- it's basically an idea to get you started. Nutmeg would be good in this along with/in place of the cinnamon. I ate the topping cold on warm pancakes, but it would be great heated up too.
