CIDER SYRUP: In medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and pumpkin pie spice; stir in apple cider and lemon juice.

Fold in apples and sausage.
Grease griddle lightly before making each batch.
Pour batter from 1/4 cup measuring cup onto hot griddle. Bake until bubbles appear, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes.
