Ingredients

• 6 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 medium Apple, peeled and grated
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 large Egg
• 1.25 cups Buttermilk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cups Pure maple syrup
• 1 cup Apple cider
• 2 tablespoons Light brown sugar, packed
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Place cooked bacon on paper towels to drain and crumble into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and grate the apple using a box grater. Pat the grated apple dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the buttermilk and melted butter until combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Fold in the grated apple and crumbled bacon into the batter.

Step 7

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

Step 8

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing pancakes apart. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Flip the pancakes and cook on the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 10

To prepare the cider syrup, combine the maple syrup, apple cider, and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Step 11

Simmer the syrup for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. Stir in the 1 tablespoon of butter until melted and glossy.

Step 12

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with the cider syrup.
