Step 1

To make the batter, whisk egg, milk, and cider together in a medium bowl. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, stir to combine. Fold in the shredded apple.

Step 2

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Generously grease the surface, then pour the batter out ¼ cup at a time.

Step 3

When the bottom of the pancakes are golden brown and little air bubbles begin to form on the top, flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

Step 4

To make the Cinnamon Apple Topping, melt 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet and add sliced apples, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir to coat the apples, then saute for a few minutes until apples have softened.

Step 5

Serve pancakes topped with cinnamon apples and maple syrup.
