Ingredients
For the apple topping:
- 2 Granny Smith apples peeled and chopped small
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
For the pancake batter:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
Make the apple topping:
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, melt the 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the chopped apples to the pan, and stir, cooking them for about a minute.
- Distribute the cinnamon and brown sugar over the apples, give them a stir, and add the water. Cook the apple topping for 5 minutes, until the apples have softened enough to your liking. Turn off the heat.
Cup of Yum
Make the pancake batter:
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Make a well in the middle and pour in the milk, egg, and butter. Mix with a whisk or fork until smooth.
- To the pancake batter, add ⅓ of the cooked apple and cinnamon topping. Gently fold it into the batter just enough to distribute it throughout.
Cook the pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick griddle or large pan over medium-high heat, I set my griddle at 300-350 F, this will vary. Once hot, grease, spray, or melt butter on the hot surface.
- Immediately, pour ¼ cup of apple pancake batter onto the greased pan. Cook the pancakes for about 2 minutes, until the edges begin to look defined and bubbles form. Flip the pancakes over and cook for another minute on the other side. Remove from the pan onto a plate and cook the remaining pancakes.
Serve:
- Plate 2 to 3 pancakes per person and top with warm cinnamon apple topping. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
