Fall means changing weather, the leaves becoming bright red and vibrant colors, and of course apples. My husband and I recently headed up to the north GA mountains and headed to an orchard. While we were there, I picked up some apple cider – hence these delicious apple cider pancakes.
I love a quick and easy breakfast option that won’t take me too long in the kitchen to make. I usually make all of these on the weekend and then freeze them. Then, during the week, I can quickly grab 2 out of the freezer and pop them in the toaster. And boom – easy breakfast that doesn’t cost me any extra money.
I like my pancakes a little moist and not so cakey, and these are a perfect compliment to that.
In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, baking powder and sugar. Mix contents together.
In a smaller bowl, mix together the vanilla, egg, apple cider, and apple sauce. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ones and mix to combine.

Heat a non-stick griddle pan to medium-low heat. Add the batter to the griddle pan and cook until the pancakes bubble in the middle, about 3-4 minutes. Flip once and cook the other side until they are cooked through.
Serve with maple syrup (not included in the SmartPoints).
