• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine all purpose flour and whole wheat flours, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter and maple syrup; pour over dry ingredients and add apples. Stir gently just until combined (a few lumps should remain). In large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt a thin layer of butter. Scoop about 1/3 cup batter per pancake into skillet. Cook for 2 minutes or until bubbles break in batter but do not fill in; turn and cook for 1 -2 minutes longer or until golden and puffed.Repeat with remaining butter and batter, adjusting heat as necessary to prevent burning.
