Instructions

  1. To make hot apple cider syrup:
  2. Bring juice and brown sugar to a boil, and simmer until sugar is dissolved. Stir in lemon juice(if using), cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  3. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer about 5 minutes, till syrup consistency.
  4. Beat baking mix, egg and milk with whisk until smooth. Add pumpkin pie spice(or apple pie spice) and lemon zest to batter and mix until incorporated.
  5. Grease griddle.
  6. Core and cut apples crosswise in 1/8-inch slices.
  7. Using a toothpick dip slices into batter(I used my fingers, but you could also use a fork or spoon). Cook on medium hot griddle until golden brown, turning once(about 3-5 minutes each side). Serve hot with apple cider syrup.
  8. Enjoy!
