Ingredients

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup chunky applesauce
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 cup milk you can use Almond milk or other substitutes
1 egg
2 tablespoons melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

8 ounces of cream cheese softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Grab a bowl and mix your flour, baking powder, tablespoon of sugar, salt, cinnamon, applesauce, milk, egg and butter together. You don't want want to overmix the pancake batter.
Now turn on your griddle and let it get nice and hot. You will then want to spray with a cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour about 1/2 cup of pancake batter on the pancake griddle. Cook on the first side until you begin to see air bubbles begin to form.
Use a spatula to peek at the side to see if it is browning. Then flip it over gently and repeat the cooking.
Then in a medium sized bowl work on the cheesecake filling. Take your softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla and mix until creamy.
Now place a pancake on a plate and smear some of your cheesecake mixture on top. Then feel free to add another pancake and top with syrup or a dollop of butter.

Notes

Storage - Store any pancakes you don't eat right away in an airtight container in the fridge. Or you can freeze for 3-4 months.

Reheating - You can reheat pancakes in the microwave. Just place a cup of water in the microwave, add pancakes and heat. The water will help prevent pancakes from drying out. Or you can warm in toaster or oven.

Cream Cheese - The filling is optional for these cinnamon apple pancakes. They are delicious with or without the filling spread on top.

Double Recipe - Feel free to double the pancake recipe if you want. This is super easy and a great way to meal prep with.
