Once all the pancakes are toasted and dried on paper towels, place them in the oven and bake for ten minutes.
To make the glaze, grind cane sugar and arrowroot.
Add milk and mix well! Remove the pancakes from the oven and dip each side in the glaze.

Nutritional Benefits:
The fiber content of apples is combined with other nutrients to enhance the health benefits of these fruits. For example, they lower blood fat levels, which in turn helps prevent heart disease. According to a recent study, soluble fiber combined with pectin in apples is responsible for this effect.
Numerous studies have shown that the benefits of apples start in the digestive tract. Apples have been shown to change two strains of bacteria in the colon, allowing more fuel to be available to the colon for additional digestion.
