Apple Cinnamon Pancakes made with apple pie spice are a delicious fall breakfast favorite! Top with a three ingredient apple cinnamon compote or simply smother in real maple syrup.

Melt the butter in microwave for 30 seconds, set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, apple pie spice, salt, and baking powder.
Stir milk and egg together.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture.
Pour the butter, vanilla, and milk mixture into the well.
Use a wire whisk to stir everything together until just combined. It will be slightly thick and lumpy, but should be well incorporated.
Allow the batter to rest while heating a lightly oiled skillet or griddle to medium high heat.
Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
Cook each side for 3-6 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
Top with sautéed cinnamon apples and maple syrup.
Notes
Make sure you are using BAKING POWDER, not baking soda.
I like to set my electric griddle to 325 degrees and spray with nonstick spray. I use a 1/4 measuring cup to scoop the pancake batter onto the griddle. The pancake batter will be thick.
I don't recommend making these pancakes in advance, but you can freeze any leftovers (without the apple compote or other toppings).
