Preheat your cooking surface. We use an iron griddle that covers two burners. I spray it with Pam and let it slowly heat up. It should be a good temperature by the time you're done mixing things together.

First,  melt your 2 tbsp. of butter in a large glass batter bowl,. Generally 25-30 seconds does it for me. Stir it with a whisk to further break down any clumps. Next, mix in the soured milk, applesauce and sugar until well blended. Mix in the egg until fully incorporated. Whisk all wet ingredients together until smooth.

In a small bowl, combine all of your dry ingredients. Whisk to incorporate baking soda and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to the wet and whisk until all the flour is absorbed. Allow the batter to sit for 2-3 minutes before making your pancakes. It helps to activate the leavening agents.

Pour scant 1/4 of batter on your cooking surface and cook until bubbles begin to form around the edge. Flip and cook for 30 seconds to a minute.

For the cooked apples - Combine all ingredients in a medium sauce pan. Cook for 10 minutes until apples are soft.
