Instructions
Apple Cider Pancakes
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the beaten egg, buttermilk and apple cider, and vanilla extract. Then add the melted cooled butter and whisk.
Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine just enough to form a lumpy cake-like batter.
Pour batter onto a lightly greased, preheated frying pan, skillet, or griddle. Cook until bubbles have formed, the bottom is golden, but not all of the bubbles have popped on the facing side of the pancake.
Flip your pancakes and cook the second side half as long as the first side. Remove from heat when done and repeat as needed until all of your pancakes are cooked. Serve warm.
Pan Fried Cinnamon Apples
Wash, core, and cut the apples into evenly sized slices and chunks.
Heat a small to medium sized skillet to medium heat. Melt the butter and add the apples. Cook apples, stirring occasionally, until fork tender or your desired level of tenderness
Add the brown sugar and cinnamon, stir to coat the apples. Remove from the heat when the sugar is dissolved and beginning to caramelize. Set aside to serve over your pancakes.
Caramel Apple Cider Syrup
Bring a small saucepan to medium heat, and melt the butter. Add the apple cider and stir in the brown sugar.
Whisk the syrup frequently while bringing to a low boil. Allow to cook at a low boil for one minute, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and serve warm.
