Instructions

For the Apple Topping

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, syrup, and chopped up apples. Cook for 3-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft.
You can either set the heat to low or remove saucepan from heat and cover while preparing the pancakes.

For the Old Fashioned Pancakes

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla. Slowly pour in the cooled melted butter, whisking vigorously.
Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, forming a smooth, fluffy batter.
Spray a skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium heat.
Scoop 1/4 cup of pancake batter into the pan, then use a spatula to gently spread the batter into a flat circle (about 4-5 inches wide). Cook pancake for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles appear along the sides. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat until all the batter has been used.
As pancakes are ready, serve with cinnamon apples on top.
