How to Make Apple Pancakes With Syrup
- **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.
- **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.
- **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups milk, 2 large eggs, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
- **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).
- **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.
- **Serve:** Stack pancakes on plates and drizzle generously with the warm cinnamon syrup. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
