Step by Step Method
Bronzed Apples
Step 1
Get a large sauté pan heating up over high heat. Once hot, add oil and then add apples. Gently stir apples so they are evenly coated with oil and allow to caramelize for 2-3 minutes. Add butter and sugar and toss until sugar is melted and apples are coated. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes more, remove from heat and keep warm until ready to use.
Pancakes
Step 2
In a stainless steel bowl, whisk together the eggs, cider, and butter.
Step 3
In a separate stainless steel bowl combine flours, sugars, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4
Pour dry ingredients into wet and mix until just combined. Don't over mix.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add pancake batter in the amount of the desired size of a pancake, cook until bubbles form in batter; flip, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat until batter is used up.
Step 6
Serve with bronzed apples and a dollop of whipped butter.

- Substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour: Almond flour is a gluten-free alternative to all-purpose flour, and it adds a nuttier flavor to the pancakes.

Maple Bacon: Maple Bacon is the perfect accompaniment to Apple Cider Pancakes With Apple Topping. The sweetness of the maple syrup complements the flavors of the pancakes and the apples, and the bacon adds a delicious crunchy texture. It's a great way to add a bit of savory contrast to the sweet breakfast dish.
Berry Compote: Berry Compote is a delicious and easy to make accompaniment to Apple Cider Pancakes With Apple Topping. The tartness of the berries and the sweetness of the syrup will perfectly balance the sweetness of the pancakes and the apples.
