Cinnamon Apple Pancakes

Directions

1. First you'll want to make the apple topping, since it has to simmer. Peel and granny smith apples, and using an apple corer/slicer, slice the apples into wedges. Then slice them in half again. In a small-medium pot, melt the butter. One the butter is melted add in the sugar, juice, and cinnamon. Once that's mixed drop in the apples and stir. Let it come to a boil and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10-20 minutes until the apples are soft and you have a delicious syrup at the bottom of the pot. Keep warm. In a large mixing bowl combine pancake ingredients, minus the apples, until thick. Next peel and diced the gala apple. You'll want them to be very tiny bits of apple, so it's not huge chunks. Add to the pancake mixture. Heat your griddle to about 350 degrees F, or if using a griddle pan on your stove, heat on medium heat until nice and hot. Spray with cooking spray, and using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, scoop a 1/2 cup of pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Flip when bubbles start to form in the center of the pancake. Cook until golden brown. Serve with the apple topping, and some of the syrup created by the apples. You can add more syrup it you want.
