Apple Pie Pancakes
These fluffy apple pie pancakes are a delicious and fun way to start your mornings. They are quick to put together and taste just like apple pie!
Ingredients
Apple Pie Filling and Topping
- 1 large apple I recommend Granny Smith
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- pinch of salt
Batter
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 ½ cups buttermilk room temperature
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ⅓ cup 67 g chopped lightly roasted walnuts, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 F.
- Finely dice the apple and coat with brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Toss in a skillet and cook on medium heat, until the apples are softened. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and sugar. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, butter and eggs, mixing well to combine. Fold in in the dry ingredients and then half of the apple mixture, being careful not to over mix (lumps are your friends).
- Heat a nonstick pan or griddle on medium-low heat. Pour out ¼ cup (63 ish mL) of batter per pancake (I can fit three pancakes on my griddle). Cook for about 2 - 3 minutes on this side, you will see bubble form and begin to pop. Flip, and cook for an additional 1 - 2 minutes. Place the finished pancakes on a baking sheet and leave in the oven to keep warm while you continue making the other pancakes.
- Top your stacks of pancakes with the remaining apple pie filling and almonds, plus any other toppings you may like. I love adding some whipped cream!
