Steps (4 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, applesauce, egg, vanilla, and oil until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk together just until everything is incorporated and most of the lumps are gone. Make sure you DO NOT overmix.

  2. 2

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto hot skillet. Cook for a few minutes, until bubbles form on the surface. Flip over and cook on the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, until browned on the bottom and center is done.

  3. 3

    For the caramelized apple topping:
    Set a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter to skillet and melt. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add diced apples and stir to coat. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Top the pancakes with the warm apples; drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
