Ingredients

2 cup pancake mix
1 1/4 cup milk
3 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 ounce cream cheese, strawberry or favorite filling
2 tablespoon red colored sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 apples, cored
4 cup canola oil, for frying

Directions

In a bowl, mix together the pancake mix, milk, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
In a microwavable bowl, add the cream cheese, red sugar, and cinnamon. Microwave for 40 seconds or until soft. Mix until smooth. Fill core of apple with filling.
Skewer the apples side to side with a metal skewer and dip in batter. Fry in canola oil heated to 375 degrees. Cook until lightly brown. Remove the apples from fryer and allow to cool. Once cool enough to touch, slice the apples so the core forms a circle in middle of slice. Place on sticks to look like lollipops
