Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. applesauce
  • 1 Tbsp. butter, melted
  • 3/4 c. milk
  • 1/4 c. apple cider
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 c. gluten free flour blend (I used 1/2 c. oat, 1/4 c. almond, 1/4 c. cassava)

Apple Crisp Topping

  • 2-3 tsp. coconut oil
  • 2 large apples, peeled and diced
  • 1 Tbsp. orange juice
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.  Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk all of the ingredients together. Test skillet by splashing a few drops of water in the pan.  If the water sizzles, the pan is ready.  Pour batter to make individual pancakes. Cook on each side for 2-5 minutes.
  2. Using the same skillet, heat the coconut oil over low heat. Peel and dice the apples. Then, add to the skillet and raise the heat to medium-high. Stir in the orange juice and cinnamon. Next, sauté for 4-5 minutes. Once apples are fork tender, turn off the heat. Then, sprinkle the apples with the brown sugar and stir. Serve warm.
