Ingredients

Pancakes:

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup apples, grated

Maple-Apple Sauce:

  • 2 large apples, peeled, cored and diced
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1/8 cup dark corn syrup
  • dash of salt

Instructions

  1. For pancakes, combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and nutmeg in mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix baking soda, egg, butter, vanilla and milk. Combine both mixtures stirring only until blended.
  2. Fold in grated apple. Bake on hot, lightly greased griddle. When batter is full of holes, turn to brown on other side. Turn pancakes only once while cooking.
  3. For sauce, melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples and saute until just brown, about 2-3 minutes.
