Step 1

Peel and core all the apples and then dice them into small pieces.

Step 2

Melt butter in a sauce pot over medium heat and add diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and apple pie spice. Gently mix everything until apples are evenly coated and mixed.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid and let apple cook for about 15 minutes. Remember to stir once in a while. (NOTE: to get a lot of nice juices out of apples, make sure to cook them covered with a lid first.)

Step 4

Take off the lid and cook for another 10-15 minutes until apples are soft and tender. Make sure to stir once in a while. Take the pot off the heat until ready to serve on pancakes.

Step 5

Whisk together wet pancake ingredients first and then add your dry ingredients. Whisk just until batter is smooth.

Step 6

Let the batter sit for about 10 minutes.

Step 7

It’s important to preheat the pan or the griddle first, before cooking the pancakes. Preheat it over medium heat and then lower it a little bit before adding pancake batter.

Step 8

Lightly grease cooking pan (or a griddle) with some oil.

Step 9

Use a 1/4 cup scoop to get the same amount of batter for each pancake. Add the batter to the hot pan and let it cook without touching it.

Step 10

Wait for the bubbles to appear all over the top, that is your indication that pancakes are ready to flip. Use a spatula to slide all the way under the pancake, lift it off, and use your wrist to quickly flip. (It will take 3-5 minutes for each pancake to cook.)

Step 11

Divide pancakes among the plates and top them with warm apple pie topping.
