Oregon has approximately 6200 acres of apple orchards in three major regions: the Willamette Valley, the Mid-Columbia Valley (including the Hood River Valley) and eastern Oregon’s Milton-Freewater area. The most popular varieties of apple grown in Oregon are Fuji and Gala but in the Hood River Valley there are orchardists growing over 75 varieties.

2 Tablespoons Butter melted in 9 inch pie plate

Place the thin sliced apples around the bottom of the pie plate. Add the berries of choice. Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the apples and berries. Gently pour the syrup over the apples and berries. Spoon the pancake batter gently over the apples and berries. Do not pour as this will disturb the apple arrangement.
