Make the pancakes
2 Measure [wprm-ingredient text="2 cups all-purpose flour" uid="0"], [wprm-ingredient text="3 tablespoons brown sugar" uid="1"], [wprm-ingredient text="2 teaspoons ground cinnamon" uid="2"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 teaspoon ground ginger" uid="3"], [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon ground allspice" uid="4"], [wprm-ingredient text="2 teaspoons baking powder" uid="5"], [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon baking soda" uid="6"] and [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon kosher salt" uid="7"] into a large bowl. Whisk until incorporated, and set aside.
3 In a smaller bowl or a liquid measuring cup, measure [wprm-ingredient text="1 ¼ cups apple cider" uid="8"].
4 Next, [wprm-ingredient text="½ cup unsweetened applesauce" uid="9"] to the cider. Whisk to combine.
5 Break [wprm-ingredient text="2 large eggs" uid="10"] into the apple cider mixture. Add t[wprm-ingredient text="1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract" uid="11"] and [wprm-ingredient text="2 tablespoons unflavored oil" uid="12"], too.
6 Use a fork to stir the wet ingredients until combined. Make sure the egg yolk and white are incorporated.
7 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined with a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as this will affect the texture of the pancakes. Don’t fret about lumps — they’re OK.
8 Once the batter has been mixed, heat a nonstick skillet or a griddle over medium heat. Brush the pan with melted butter or unflavored cooking spray.
9 Dollop the pancakes onto the preheated skillet when ready using a cookie scoop or a measuring cup.
10 When several bubbles have formed on the surface, flip the pancakes, and cook through.
11 Repeat until all of the pancakes have been made.
12 Stack the pancakes onto plates and serve with a pat of butter, caramelized apples and whipped cream. Enjoy immediately!
