In a bowl, combine flour, sugar if desired and salt. In another bowl, lightly beat egg; add mink and oil. Add to dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Fold in apples. Heat a griddle coated with nonstick cooking spray; pour batter by 1/2 cupfuls onto hot griddle and spread to form a 5-inch circle. Turn when bubbles begin to form on top. Cook until the second side is golden brown and apples are tender. Dust with confectioners sugar if desired. Serving Size: 2 pancakes NOTES : My Mom used to make these wonderful pancakes for me as an after-school snack. Now I serve them as a main course or as a side dish with a variety of breakfast entrees.
