When September hits it’s all things apples for me! Growing up in Spokane, Washington, we were in Apple Country. I remember going with my mom to the local apple orchards and buying a couple of crates of fresh apples every fall. We would walk through the cooler and choose a box of Red Delicious and one of Golden Delicious. They were truly…uh…delicious.

Apples season was the beginning of FALL BAKING. The smells take me right back to my childhood and wrap me up in warmth and comfort.

These Apple Pancakes with Cider Syrup make the perfect Autumn breakfast on a crisp, chilly weekend.

I make the syrup first so that it is done and ready to go when the pancakes are fresh off of the griddle.

LET’S BEGIN!

Mix all the dry ingredients in a saucepan and then add in the cider and lemon juice.

Cook and stir until bubbling and thickened…then just add in the butter and vanilla.

Set aside and make the pancakes!

Mix all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Mix together eggs, oil, milk and grated apple.

Stir into dry ingredients.

Melt the butter in a griddle and ladle in about 1/4 cup for each pancake.

Pancake will stop bubbling and look drier on the edges when ready to flip.

Serve hot with Cider Syrup!
