Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

Step 1

Preheat a griddle to 300°F, or a skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

Add milk, egg, vanilla and applesauce. Mix with a wooden spoon just until most of the lumps are gone and the batter is smooth. Do not over mix. Fold in grated apples.

Step 4

Coat the griddle (or skillet) with a little butter or oil and then pour 1/4 cup batter onto the heated griddle. Cook the pancakes until bubbles appear, about 1-2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook the other side for 1 minute, or just until lightly browned. Turn down the heat if they are burning too fast.

Step 5

Serve immediately or place pancakes on a baking sheet in the oven at 175°F to keep warm.
