Wash the apples. Rinse with white vinegar and then rinse again with water. This will ensure that they are clean and free of pesticides.

Using an apple corer and slicer, core and slice the two apples.

Take one apple, cut it in half so that you have slices. Put in a small glass bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown.

Take the other apple and chop it into small, julienned slices. Place that in another small glass bowl and sprinkle it with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown.

Melt the butter over medium heat being sure not to scorch it.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.

Add the flour to the beaten egg.

Then add the 1/3 cup of sugar. Reserve the rest of the sugar for later cooking.

Add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.

Add the buttermilk, vanilla and melted butter to the mixture and then stir to incorporate everything.

Add the chopped apple. Stir until just combined. The mixture will be thick.

Preheat the griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray or add a little butter.

Add about 1/2 cup batter to the griddle. Place 2 lightly sugared apple slices on top.

Cook the pancake until bubbles form (about 2 minutes).

Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook until golden brown on each side for a total of about 4 minutes cooking time per pancake. You may need to spray the spatula with cooking spray between pancakes to ensure the pancake doesn't stick to the spatula.
