Apple Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
•  1 ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon, divided
• 1 tbsp sugar
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• 4 tbsp butter, divided, plus more for cooking
•  1 large The Farmer’s Cow egg, separated
• 1 tsp  pure vanilla extract
• 1 ¼ cup The Farmer’s Cow Milk
• 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped (about 5 to 6 cups)
• ½ cup light or dark brown sugar

Cinnamon Maple Syrup

• 1 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 cinnamon stick

Directions

1. Make the syrup: In a small saucepan, simmer maple syrup, cinnamon, and cinnamon stick for 10 minutes on low heat, stirring throughout. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Mix flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter. In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolk, vanilla, milk, and melted butter. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined, then fold in 1 ½ cups of chopped apple.
4. In another medium bowl, using a hand mixer, beat egg white until stiff peaks form. Fold egg white into batter gently with a rubber spatula until combined.
5. Make apple topping: in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add remaining apples, brown sugar, remaining ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and a ¼ cup of water. Cook, stirring occasionally until apples have softened and the mixture is a jam-like consistency, 10 to 15 minutes.
6. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour about ¼ cup of pancake batter into the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes and flip when small bubbles start to form. Continue cooking until both sides are lightly golden. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan, as needed.
7. Serve pancakes topped with apple mixture and cinnamon maple syrup.
