1

Mix 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup water to create a buttermilk substitute and let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.

2

Separate one egg into egg yolk and egg whites.

3

Mix 1 tablespoon of melted butter with the egg yolk.

4

Add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture.

5

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; stir until well incorporated.

6

Pour the sour cream and water mixture into the egg mixture and stir together.

7

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold the batter gently, no more than 15 times, until lumpy with some dry flour visible.

8

Let the batter rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.

9

Peel and cube half of a granny smith apple into 1/2 to 3/4 inch cubes.

10

In a small saucepan, combine the cubed apples, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon white sugar, and 1/4 cup water; cover and cook on low heat for 2 to 3 minutes.

11

Stir the apples frequently and test for firmness with a fork; cook until desired firmness is reached, about 5 minutes.

12

Add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 clove to the apples after 5 minutes, then add a tablespoon of water to thin the syrup and turn off the heat.

13

Heat an 11-inch aluminum frying pan on low for about 8 minutes until it reaches 180 degrees, checking by splashing water on the pan.

14

Grease the pan with 1/2 teaspoon of butter and wipe off excess with a paper towel or slice of bread.

15

Add two heaping teaspoons of batter to the pan for each pancake, aiming for a 2.5-inch diameter pancake.

16

Cook until the edges set and check the bottom for doneness before flipping; the second side cooks in half the time of the first side.

17

Grease the pan again and cook the remaining pancakes, adding a teaspoon of butter on top of the pancakes before plating.
