Ingredients

Pancakes

▢2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour▢2 tablespoons baking powder▢2 teaspoons apple pie spice▢½ teaspoon salt, (can omit if desired)▢2 cups (490 g) buttermilk▢2 large eggs, room temperature▢2 teaspoons vanilla extract▢2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Apple Topping

▢4 tablespoons butter▢6 large apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped▢1 cup brown sugar▢1 teaspoon apple pie spice▢½ cup water (reserve 1 tablespoon for slurry)▢1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

Pancakes

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, apple pie spice, and salt. Whisk in the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and oil, until incorporated.

Heat skillet over medium heat, and spray it with nonstick spray.

Using a 1/8-1/4 size measuring cup, pour batter onto skillet. Spread the batter out more if necessary, to about 4-inch diameters.

Reduce the heat to medium-low.

Cook the pancake 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bubbles begin popping on top of the pancake and it is golden brown on the bottom.

Gently but quickly flip over pancake. Cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes (with the temperature still on medium-low), until the other side is golden as well.

Repeat with the remaining pancake batter.

Apple Topping

In a small saucepan melt butter. Add apples, brown sugar, apple pie spice, and water. Stir to combine.

In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and remaining tablespoon of water and pour into apple mixture. Stir to combine and cook until soft (about 10-15). Mixture should be slightly thick.

Serve pancakes topped with apple topping.
