serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• Cooking spray
• 1 apple, peeled and diced small (1 cup)

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, applesauce, egg, and butter. Add applesauce mixture to flour mixture and whisk until just moistened (batter should have some lumps; do not overmix).

2. Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium-high. In batches, drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls into skillet. Sprinkle each pancake with diced apple. Cook until bubbles appear on top and a few have burst, 2 to 5 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until golden brown on underside, 2 to 5 minutes. Repeat with more cooking spray and remaining batter, wiping skillet clean between batches.
