Gingerbread Pancakes with Apple Topping

Pancakes:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
2 cups soymilk
2-3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons ginger
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 tablespoon molasses

Apple Topping:
2 apples (Granny Smith or other baking apples work best)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar

Pancakes:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, and mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, mix soy milk, oil, molasses, and brown sugar.
3. Pour the liquid into the flour mixture and stir well, until most lumps are gone. Add additional soy milk or flour if needed, until the mixture pours easily (if the first pancake you make doesn't spread out into a circle naturally, your mixture is too thick).
4. Lightly oil a frying pan and place over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, pour 1/4 cup batter or desired amount onto pan. Cook just until smoke starts to rise from underneath the pancake, then flip. Cook on the otherside just until the pancake starts to smoke, then remove from heat. The pancakes should be golden brown but not burned - adjust cooking time if pancakes appear under or over cooked.
5. Place pancakes in a covered bowl or container until ready to serve.

Topping:
1. Peel and core apples, and cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
2. Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan, mix well, and heat until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
3. Reduce the heat and cook until the apples are soft, stirring often.
