Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine water, brown sugar, golden syrup, and salted butter over medium heat. Stir gently to dissolve sugar, then add sliced apples. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes until apples are tender and syrup thickens.
  2. Make the Pancake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and ground ginger. Add grated apple, light brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, milk, and salt. Mix until just combined, leaving lumps.
  3. Preheat the Skillet: Set a skillet or griddle over medium heat, drizzle vegetable oil, and heat for 2-3 minutes until water sizzles.
  4. Cook the Pancakes: Pour batter onto the skillet, spreading into a round shape. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve: Stack pancakes on a plate, spoon warm syrup-poached apples on top, and add a dollop of crème fraîche if desired. Enjoy!
