Instructions:
1. Place the almonds in a food processor or high-speed blender and pulse until they become a fine almond meal. Be careful not to over-process, as it can turn into almond butter.
1. In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, eggs, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and coconut milk until thoroughly combined.
1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until you have a smooth, thick batter. If the batter seems too thick, you can add a little more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of coconut oil to the pan and allow it to melt and coat the surface.
1. Pour small amounts of batter (about 1/4 cup) onto the hot skillet, forming individual pancakes.
2. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are set. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
1. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of coconut cream.

Grain-free apple almond pancakes with cinnamon and coconut milk FAQ:
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on each side. They are ready to flip when bubbles form on the surface and the edges are set, resulting in a total cooking time of approximately 4-6 minutes per pancake.
The pancakes are done when they are golden brown on both sides, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Ensure the edges are set and not too soft.
Yes, you can store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to a month; just reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
