What You'll Do

  • For topping, melt butter in small skillet over medium heat. Add chopped apples; cook and stir until apples are tender, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in pumpkin pie spice and syrup; heat through. Keep warm while preparing pancakes.
  • For pancakes, combine dry ingredients in large bowl; set aside. In medium bowl, combine milk, pumpkin, egg and oil with wire whisk until well blended. Add to dry ingredients; mix just until combined.
  • Heat griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly grease or spray with nonstick cooking spray. For each pancake, pour scant 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Turn pancakes when small bubbles form and edges appear dry.
  • Serve with warm apple topping.
