these easy pancakes are filled with fall flavor and are perfect to make with fresh cider after an apple picking trip!

cook time: 15-20 minutes makes: 6 large pancakes

ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose or white whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons apple pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 cups apple cider
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola oil
• Butter, for greasing and topping

directions:

1. In a saucepan over low heat, place 2 cups of cider. Allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until cider has reduced to about 1 cup (note: reducing the cider intensifies the flavor but if you’d like to skip this step, simply add 3/4 – 1 cup unreduced cider to the wet ingredients). Set aside and allow to cool.
2. While cider cools, place dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
3. In a separate bowl, add egg and oil, whisking to combine. Slowly stir in cooled cider (it’s important the cider is cool enough not to cook the egg) and whisk once more.
4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula to combine.
5. Preheat an electric griddle to 250* F (or place over medium low heat if using a non-stick pan on the stovetop) and grease with butter.
6. Add 2-3 tablespoons of batter to the prepared griddle, flipping once bubbles begin to form around the edges. Cook for 2-4 more minutes on the other side.
7. Serve with butter and syrup.
