Ingredients
  • PANCAKES:
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Light Brown Sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground Nutmeg (freshly ground is best)
  • ½ teaspoon ground Clove
  • ⅛ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted Butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste (or extract)
  • 1 cup grated Apple, peeled (about 1 medium apple -- I used Granny Smith Apples)
  • Butter or Canola Oil for skillet
  • VANILLA MAPLE SYRUP:
  • ½ cup Maple Syrup, warmed gently
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste (or extract)
Preparation Instructions
  1. Start off by whisking together the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. This includes the flour, light brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  2. In a separate dish, whisk the wet ingredients including the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla bean paste.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture until it is just starting to combine.
  4. Finally add the grated apples to the batter and carefully fold it in until the apples are throughout.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. To the hot skillet, add a teaspoon of butter or canola oil.
  6. Add ¼ cup of the batter to the pan for each pancake. You'll cook these for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges of the pancakes start to dry a bit and the pancake is golden brown. Flip the pancakes and cook an additional 1-2 minutes or until the second side of the pancake is brown.
  7. As the pancakes are cooking, heat up the maple syrup. Add the vanilla to the maple syrup and stir to combine. Your syrup is ready to go!
  8. Once the pancakes are cooked, you can put them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200 degrees to keep them warm. Serve these immediately with your favorite butter and this syrup and enjoy!
