Apple Pie Pancakes | Pancakes With Apple Pie Filling
If you’re a fan of the warm, comforting flavors of apple pie and fluffy pancakes, then these Apple Pie Pancakes are going to be your new favorite breakfast treat!
Prepare the Apple Filling. Start by peeling and chopping your apples into small, bite-sized pieces. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Cook until the apples are soft and caramelized—about 5-7 minutes. Set the apple mixture aside.
Make the Pancake Batter. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and cinnamon. In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will make your pancakes tough.
Fold in the Apple Mixture. Gently fold half of the cooked apples into the pancake batter, reserving the other half for topping.
Cook the Pancakes. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with butter. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Serve. Stack your pancakes high and top with the reserved apple mixture. Drizzle with maple syrup or caramel sauce for extra indulgence. Add whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
