  • 1 1/4 cups organic grass-fed 2% reduced-fat milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter melted I like KerryGold
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Granny Smith apple grated
  • coconut oil spray to grease the pan or butter works

Instructions

Prepare the Salted Maple Butter

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and pure maple syrup.
  • Using an electric mixer, mix the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
  • This is what you should have. Add a little sea salt, not too much. Mix it and taste the butter. The end result should be sweet & salty.

Make the Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients - all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  • In a pyrex jar, add the wet ingredients - milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Make sure the butter is slightly cool before adding it to the egg-milk mixture, else the egg will curdle. Mix well.
  • Grate a Granny Smith Apple. Alternatively, you may use a Honeycrisp Apple too. Make sure your apple is tart, and not too sweet. Set aside.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix the batter well, but DO NOT OVERMIX.
  • Add the grated apple. Fold the apple into the batter.
  • Heat up a 12" castiron skillet on low-medium heat. Let it heat up for about 3 minutes until it's nice and hot.
  • Using a 1/4 cup measurement, pour the batter onto the castiron skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Check to see if the other side is slightly golden-brown.
  • Once bubbles form on top, get ready to flip.
  • Perfect. Cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes max on low-medium heat.
