Buttermilk Pancakes with Apples Recipe

Prepare the chopped apples: Place sugar and water in a small saucepan. Over low heat, dissolve sugar until it turns into a colorless syrup. Cool. Add chopped apples. Set aside.

Prepare the pancake batter: Combine all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl using a whisk. In another bowl, combine buttermilk, beaten egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk just until mixed.

Heat pan and brush generously with oil. Pour ¼ to ? cup batter at a time, depending on desired pancake size. When pancake base starts to brown and the surface starts to bubble, flip and cook the other side. Re-oil the pan and repeat to cook remaining batter.

Stack three or more pancakes on a serving plate. Place a pat of butter on the center. Top with chopped apples and drizzle with pancake or maple syrup.
