Equipment

Mixing Bowl
Griddle

Ingredients

¼ cup butter melted
¼ cup applesauce
2 eggs
2 cups milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups finely diced apples (I used Granny Smith apples- I even kept the skins on)
2½ cups flour
2½ teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 Tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cloves optional

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together melted butter, applesauce, eggs, milk, vanilla and shredded apple. Add in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg, and cloves and stir until just combined.
Preheat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup onto the hot surface and let cook for a couple of minutes on each side, flipping half way through. Best if served warm, topped with butter, maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

To make these a little healthier you can try:

using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour
using low-fat or skim milk
using almond or soy milk
using Greek yogurt in place of butter or oil
add in some fruit (we love blueberries, strawberries and bananas)
using 2 egg whites in place of 1 large egg
