Apple Pancakes with Cidar syrup

This recipe is one I came up with one morning at work. I had some apples sitting there needing to be used up. I wanted to make something different so I thought....Pancakes. They have just the right amount of cinnamon mixed with the tartness from the apple. Super Yummy and looks pretty too.
 
Ingredients:

3 cups of all purpose flour

7 teaspoons of baking powder

2 teaspoons of salt

2 tablespoons of white sugar (I have tried sugar alternates, but I have still found white sugar to be the perfect taste)

2 1/2 cups of milk

2 eggs

6 delicious tablespoons of melted butter

and then my 2 secret ingredients: 1 tablespoon of cinnamon

and lastly 1/4 cup of Sprite® for an incredibly fluffy pancake

3-4 Apples peeled and cut into slices.

2 cups spiced apple cidar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 

 Directions:

1. Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl, then make a big divot or hole in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients in the hole. Mix until it is VERY silky smooth.

2. Peal and slice apples thin. Toss with Cinnamon.

3. Put apple cider into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half. (this is your syrup)

4.. Heat a griddle with a cap full of canola oil over medium to medium-high heat. Use about a quarter of a cup of batter to make the pancakes. Add the apples into a fan shape on the pancake. When batter forms bubbles flip the pancake over and cook until apples start to brown. Pour syrup over Apple cakes and enjoy.
