Step 1
Start by combining the apples, water, and orange juice in a small pot. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low. Add in a teaspoon of vanilla extract and some cinnamon, stirring well. Let the mixture simmer, stirring often, until the apples turn a light golden color and most of the liquid has cooked off—this should take about 20 to 25 minutes. Once the apples are tender, stir in the maple syrup and keep the sauce warm on low heat.

Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, milk, egg, coconut oil, two teaspoons of vanilla extract, sucralose, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 3
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Spoon the batter onto the griddle in large dollops. Cook the pancakes until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set, about 3 to 5 minutes. Flip them and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until they’re golden brown on the other side.

Step 4
Keep going until all the batter is used up. Serve the pancakes warm with a generous spoonful of the apple-maple sauce on top. Enjoy!
