Apple Pie Pancakes
Pancake recipe adapted from Bon Appetit (BA's Best Buttermilk Pancakes)
Ingredients
- 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- Vegetable oil for griddle
- Maple syrup for serving
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium-sized apple chopped into cubed sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Mix milk and lemon juice in a bowl and let stand for 5 minutes to make buttermilk
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk eggs, milk from step #1, and butter in a medium bowl; stir into dry ingredients until just combined (some lumps are okay).
- Rest batter for 5 to 10 minutes
- In the meantime, heat a small pan on medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter.
- Once butter has melted, add the apple, cinnamon, salt, and sugar.
- Cook on medium heat, constantly stirring for about 10 minutes to caramelize the apple. Set aside.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium; brush with oil. Working in batches, scoop ⅓-cupfuls of batter onto griddle. Cook pancakes until bottoms are golden brown and bubbles form on top, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through and both sides of pancakes are golden brown, about 2 minutes longer.
- Stack 2 or 3 pancakes and top each stack with apple pie filling and maple syrup (if using).
- Serve and enjoy!
