Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 medium apple, finely shredded
• 0.5 cups cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
• 1.5 cups apple cider
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.

Step 4

Gently fold in the shredded apple and crumbled sausage.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 8

To make the cider syrup, combine apple cider, brown sugar, butter, and nutmeg in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.

Step 10

Whisk the slurry into the simmering cider mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the syrup thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 11

Serve the pancakes stacked on a plate, drizzled generously with warm cider syrup.
