Apple Spice Pancakes with Apple Cider Syrup




These pancakes are wonderful but definitely a brunch item. Although, my daughter thinks they would be great as dessert and they would be with a dollop of real whipping cream on the side.  The apple cider syrup is delicious, not to sweet just perfect!

Apple Cider Syrup

This is the first thing you want to do. 
1 cup apple cider syrup
1 1/2 cups apple jelly
1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice
Bring 1cup of apple cider to boil in a small pan then lower to medium heat.  Let this boil for 12-14 minutes or until it reduces to about 1/4 of a cup.  Then add the jelly and apple pie spice.  Stir well until the jelly dissolves.  When this is mixed well let is simmer briefly over a low heat for 2 minutes and then remove from heat.

Spiced Apples

3 small or 2 large apples of your choice, peeled, cored and sliced.
1/4 cup of sugar
3 tablespoon of butter
1/4 teaspoon of apple pie spice
In a skillet, melt butter and add apples, sugar and spice.  Stir apples until tender.  Let set until you are ready to top on pancake batter.  Pour your pancake batter on a hot griddle and then top with the number of apples you would like.  It needs to be a single layer. When the bottom is ready to flip the apples will stay in place when you turn the pancake over.

Buttermilk Pancake Batter

This has been my pancake recipe for years and it makes great pancakes. 
1 egg
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Beat egg.  Combine flour, baking powder, soda, salt and sugar; add to egg.  Add buttermilk and oil and whisk until mixture is smooth.
For each pancake, use about 1/4 cup of batter.
Yield: 8 (4 inch) pancakes
