Delicious Apple Desserts That Steal the Spotlight from Pumpkin Spice

6/10 Previous Next

Apple cinnamon pancakes are a warm and cozy treat that bring the flavors of fall right to your table. Fresh apple pieces and a hint of cinnamon are folded into a fluffy batter, then cooked in butter for a golden, slightly crisp edge and a rich, comforting taste. These pancakes are perfect for a sweet breakfast but are just as satisfying served as a dessert later in the day with a drizzle of syrup or a dollop of whipped cream. They’re simple, seasonal, and guaranteed to become a family favorite!

Ingredients (for about 8 pancakes):

• 1 cup flour
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for cooking)
• 1 apple, peeled and finely chopped

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
2. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter.
3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then gently fold in the apple.
4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
5. Pour batter in 1/4 cup portions, cooking 2–3 min. per side until golden and cooked through.
6. Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
