Ingredients

1 cup apple grated
1/4 cup apple sauce
1 cup buttermilk
2 Tbsp butter melted
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp apple pie spice

Spiced Maple Syrup

1 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 tsp apple pie spice

Garnishes

apple
whipped cream

Instructions

In a medium size mixing bowl, add the grated apple, apple sauce, buttermilk, butter, egg, brown sugar and vanilla extract, whisk until combined.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and apple pie spice.
Make a small "nest" or well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in. Using a large whisk or spatula, stir together until only very small lumps remain.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt a small amount of butter in the pan. Pour ⅓ c. of batter into the pan (I can do 2 at a time in my large skillet) and allow the pancake(s) to cook for 2 minutes, then flip and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter, buttering the pan between each batch.
To make the syrup, in a small saucepan combine the maple syrup and apple pie spice. Over medium-low heat, cook for 3-4 minutes, serve over hot pancakes.

Notes

-You can take this syrup to the next level by dry roasting chopped pecans or walnuts until fragrant, adding 2 tbsp. of butter, then the syrup and apple pie spice. Heat on low for 2-3 minutes and then drizzle over the hot pancakes.
-If you don't like raw apples on top of your pancakes, simply sauté them in a small amount of butter until soft.
