Pumpkin Pancakes & Apple Syrup

We did these the for the first time in November and have had to repeat them over and over again. I think they're good enough to eat year round.

Apple Syrup
from JoEllen Woods

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup water
2 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 apple, peeled and chopped

Mix all ingredients together before heating, to prevent the cornstarch from clumping. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes.
