Directions
Make the Cereal Milk
Combine milk and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal in a bowl.
Let steep at room temperature for 30 minutes to infuse flavor.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing lightly to extract milk.
Discard or snack on the softened cereal and set infused milk aside.
Make the Apple Compote
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
Add diced apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, Spiceology Apple Cinnamon Blend, and salt.
Cook 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and syrupy.
Keep warm for serving.
Prepare the Pancake Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and the cereal-infused milk until smooth.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined (a few lumps are okay).
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to hydrate and thicken slightly.
Heat a lightly greased griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat.
Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form and edges set, about 2–3 minutes.
Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm.
Plate the Pancakes
Stack pancakes and top with warm apple compote.
Add a dollop of whipped cream.
Sprinkle crushed dried Cinnamon Toast Crunch over the top.
Dust lightly with Spiceology Apple Cinnamon Blend to finish.
