Apple Pancakes With Maple Apple Sauce

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/3 teaspoon baking soda

1 egg, lightly beaten

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup milk

1 cup grated apple

Maple-Apple Sauce

2 teaspoons butter

2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/8 cup dark corn syrup

Dash of salt

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and nutmeg in mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix baking soda, egg, butter, vanilla and milk. Combine both mixtures, stirring only until blended. Fold in grated apple.

Using about ? cup of batter for each pancake, pour batter onto hot, lightly greased griddle to bake. When top of each pancake shows full of holes, turn to brown on other side. Turn pancakes only once while cooking.

For the syrup: Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples and saute until just brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add maple syrup and corn syrup to apples and stir gently. Let cook another 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture thickens. Serve with Apple Pancakes.

Serves four.
