Caramel Apple Pancakes
In the morning, I'm usually wanting something savory! But today, I thought let's try something totally new and different! These Caramel Apple Pancakes give a fair food vibe with a hint of Fall! Whenever I go to a fair I HAVE to get a caramel apple, they are one of my absolute favorites! When we woke up this morning it was a chilly 50 degrees, which made me think of Fall (gotta love the Midwest - insert eyeroll here!) Fall is my FAVORITE season though, and these pancakes totally hit the spot! They were stuffed with granny smith apple and cooked to fluffy perfection! With a caramel drizzle, whipped cream, and cinnamon garnish - they were sweet, tart, and delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 granny smith apple unpeeled and shredded
- 1 egg
- 6 tbsp butter divided
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
For Serving:
- Whipped cream
- Caramel drizzle
- Cinnamon
Instructions
To make the batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk all dry ingredients until combined.
- Melt 3 tbsp of the butter and in a separate bowl, whisk with all other wet ingredients until combined.
- Whisk the wet and the dry ingredients together. The batter doesn't have to be lumpy but don't overmix it! Stir in the apple.
- Let batter stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
To make the caramel apple pancakes:
- In a large skillet on medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake and fry the pancakes for about 1-1/2 minutes, flipping when you see bubbles across the pancakes. It's best to check the bottoms though and not rely on the bubbles alone, as all stoves are different!
- Flip pancakes only once and cook another 1-1/2 minutes, until golden brown on both sides. You may need to turn the heat to medium-low or even low and adjust the time as needed.
- Repeat with remaining butter and batter.
To serve:
- Serve pancakes hot and garnish with caramel drizzle, whipped cream, and a dash of cinnamon on the top! Enjoy!
