Instructions

Step 1

1. Prepare the compote: In a small saucepan, combine the diced apples, cinnamon, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples are soft and the mixture thickens. Add maple syrup if desired. Set aside.

Step 2

2. Make the pancake batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, egg, almond milk, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 3

3. Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 4

Serve: Stack the pancakes and top with the apple cinnamon compote. Garnish with additional apple slices and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
