Ingredients

Apple Pancakes Ingredients:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 120 g
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 cup applesauce unsweetened, 250g
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Apple topping:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 apple peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup maple syrup 160g

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a mixing bowl. Whisk until combined. This is the dry mixture.
  2. In a separate bowl, add the egg, applesauce, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until combined. This is the wet mixture.
  3. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until combined. Make sure not to over stir! The batter should be thick but runny enough to drip off the mixing spoon. If too thick, add another tablespoon of milk.
  4. Let the batter sit while you heat a pan over medium-low heat. Spray the pan with cooking spray.
  5. For evenly sized pancakes, measure ⅓ cup of the batter for each pancake and pour into the pan. Do this in batches so the pan is not overcrowded. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes or until the sides begin to look dry. Make sure the pancake is golden brown and cooked through, then repeat with the remaining batter.
  6. Make the Sauce. Add the butter to a pan and let it melt over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon to the pan and cook until the apples become soft. This should take 4-5 minutes. Stir in the syrup once finished cooking and pour on top of the pancakes. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Don’t Overmix – Stir the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes instead of light and fluffy ones. Preheat the Pan – Make sure your pan is properly preheated over medium-low heat before adding the batter. This helps the pancakes cook evenly and develop a nice golden-brown color. Use Fresh Apples – For the topping, use fresh, firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. They hold their shape well and add a perfect sweet-tart contrast to the spiced pancakes. Adjust Consistency – If the pancake batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency. Storage - Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. There are 6 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
