To make the apple compote, peel and cut apples into small chunks, reserving a heaping half-cup for the pancake batter. Combine compote ingredients in a small pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.

For the pancakes, combine almond milk with the apple cider vinegar and allow to curdle for one minute. Add in the grated apples, vanilla, maple syrup, and the ripe banana (mashed). In a separate large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, then slowly pour in the wet mixture and combine. Fold in remaining apple chunks, and allow pancake batter to sit for a few minutes. In the meantime, stir together all streusel ingredients in a small bowl using a fork or pastry blender.

To assemble, heat a large griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Ladle batter onto the heated surface and cook for one minute, then top with clumps of the streusel. (Try to divide streusel evenly among the pancakes). Flip and cook on the other side until both sides are browned. Serve with maple syrup and the apple compote.
