How to Make Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
Get ready to steal the heart of anybody sitting at your breakfast table!
Ingredients:
- 4 Granny Smith apples
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 TBSP. cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla (for pancake batter)
- Pancake batter of choice (I use New Hope Mills buttermilk pancake mix)
Directions:
First, peel your apples and slice them very thin. Then chop the slices again into little 1/4 inch pieces or use a chopper like this one and chop them using the smallest attachment.
Next, add the chopped apples, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to a saucepan and cook until they are tender, stirring frequently.
Make your pancake batter and add in 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla. I made one and a half batches of pancake batter which was 3 cups of mix.
Preheat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat, then spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour a large scoop of apples (about a 1/4 cup or a little less), onto the hot griddle and spread out, then pour the batter by 1/3 cupfuls on top of the apples.
Cook the bottom side of the pancake and then flip the pancake gently and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
Continue process until the batter is gone.
Then top your pancakes with butter and maple syrup and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
Pour your batter slowly to form a more round-shaped pancake. If you pour too fast the batter will spread out in different directions as it goes over the apples.
If you’re having a hard time flipping the pancakes you can pour your batter on the skillet first and then sprinkle the apples on top.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
