Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 tsp Butter
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 cup Apples (Peeled, Cored & Diced)
- 2 cups Flour
- 3 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 cups + 2 tbsp Buttermilk
- 4 tbsp Butter, Melted
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 Apples (Peeled, Cored & Diced)
- 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/3 cup Maple Syrup
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Toss in 1 cup of diced apples until coated and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, remaining brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, pour in the buttermilk and slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking until combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla to buttermilk mixture and whisk until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the coated apples gently until combined.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Scoop 1/3 cup of batter onto the skillet to form pancakes.
- Cook until edges appear set and bubbles form in the center, then flip carefully and cook until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Optional: For the apple topping, combine butter, diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and maple syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir frequently for 3-5 minutes until the apples are tender. Serve over pancakes.
Notes
For an extra fluffy texture, do not overmix the batter; it’s okay if a few lumps remain.
Use fresh, crisp apples for the best flavor and texture in your pancakes.
Feel free to substitute regular milk for buttermilk if necessary.
