Spiced Apple Topping For Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Make the pancake: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar and pie spice in a large bowl. Rub a rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons butter and arrange the apple slices on top in a single layer; sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the sugar mixture. Bake until the apples are tender and the baking sheet is mostly dry, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk both flours, the baking powder, baking soda and salt into the remaining sugar mixture. Whisk the milk, yogurt, eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl. Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture.
• Pour the batter over the apples and gently spread to cover. Bake until dry on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Let cool 15 minutes.
• Make the glaze: Stir the confectioners' sugar, cider and pie spice in a bowl. Drizzle over the pancake. Cut into squares, invert onto plates and serve with maple syrup and/or whipped cream.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add apples to the melted butter. Add sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla; saute until apples are soft, 3 to 5 minutes.
