1. **Make the Cider Syrup:** In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
2. Stir in 1 cup apple cider and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils for 1 minute.
4. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons butter.
5. Reduce heat to low to keep the syrup warm while making the pancakes.
6. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
7. **Make the Pancakes:** In a small bowl, beat 1 large egg on high speed with an electric mixer until thick and lemon-colored, about 5 minutes.
8. Stir in 1 cup pancake mix, 1/2 cup milk, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
9. Gently fold in 1 medium diced apple and 1/2 cup crumbled cooked sausage.
10. Lightly grease the griddle before each batch of pancakes.
11. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
12. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping when bubbles appear on the surface.
13. Serve the pancakes immediately with the warm cider syrup.
