In a large bowl use a whisk to sift together all purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
In a separate medium bowl whisk together buttermilk, eggs, butter and vanilla.
Add wet to dry ingredients, mixing by hand until fully moistened. Fold in shredded apple, mixing to evenly distribute.
Heat 2 Tbsp oil and 1 Tbsp butter on a griddle or large non stick skillet over medium high heat.
Use a standard ice cream scoop or 1/3 cup measuring cup to evenly divide pancake batter.
Fry in batches for 2 minutes per side or until puffed and golden. Remove to a platter and keep warm.
Serve immediately with butter, maple syrup and apple compote, if desired.
To Make Apple Compote: (Optional)
Ingredients: 4 cups apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2 inch cubes i.e. Granny Smith or your favorite variety, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp apple pie spice or cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Directions: In a heavy bottomed saucepan, cook 4 cups of cubed apples, with granulated sugar, apple pie spice or cinnamon, lemon juice and salt. Cook over medium-low heat until tender. (about 20 minutes.) Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Thicken the juices with cornstarch dissolved in cold water, if needed. (This can be done one day in advance and reheated for serving.)
