Apple Cider Pancakes

Submitted by ElizabethKnicely

"A few weeks ago, we had an informal family dinner with our cousins who had recently returned to the US from teaching in Latin America. Needless to say, we had lots to catch up on...comparing stories of life in a foreign country, discussing the different Spanish words, phrases and idioms for the different countries we'd visited. Anywho...my mom-in-law brought over some apple cider and we got so caught up in all the laughter and conversation that I forgot all about the cider in the fridge! After all were gone, we were cleaning up and discovered the unopened cider...and I immediately started thinking...what else can I do with this, besides drink it?! An experiment was in order...I wonder what would happen if I used a little cider in place of some milk in a batch of pancakes...and maybe toss in a chopped apple for kicks and giggles. A wonder-fall brinner!"
