How to Make Apple Pancakes With Syrup

  1. **Make the Syrup:** In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup Splenda, 1/2 cup apple juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 cups applesauce. Microwave on high until boiling, stirring occasionally.
  2. **Prepare the Pancakes:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups milk, 2 large eggs, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
  4. **Add Apples and Applesauce:** Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add 2 cups peeled and chopped Granny Smith apples (or your favorite variety) and the remaining applesauce from step 1 (about 1/2 cup).
  5. **Cook the Pancakes:** Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. **Serve:** Stack pancakes on plates and drizzle generously with the warm cinnamon syrup. Enjoy!
