Pancakes with Apple and Cinnamon Flavors

That sounds delicious! Here’s a recipe for Apple Cinnamon Pancakes that you can make at home:

Ingredients:

For the Pancakes:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (ground)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp melted butter (or vegetable oil)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 apple (peeled, cored, and finely chopped)

For the Cinnamon Apple Topping:

• 1 apple (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

For the Pancakes:

1. Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
2. Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
4. Fold in Apple: Gently fold in the chopped apple pieces.
5. Cook: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and keep warm while you prepare the apple topping.

For the Cinnamon Apple Topping:

1. Cook Apples: In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples and cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
2. Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to coat the apples.
3. Simmer: Continue cooking for 2-3 more minutes, until the apples are tender and the sugar has melted into a syrupy sauce.
4. Top the Pancakes: Spoon the warm cinnamon apples over the pancakes.

Optional:

• Add a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup on top for extra sweetness!

Enjoy your cozy and flavorful apple cinnamon pancakes!
