Apple Pancakes

Apple Pancakes always take me back to quiet mornings in my grandmother’s kitchen. She’d stand by the stove, humming a gospel tune, flipping pancakes while the smell of cinnamon and warm apples filled the air. There was nothing fancy about it, just pure comfort and love on a plate.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups low-fat buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 green apples about 1 pound, peeled and coarsely grated (2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons light olive oil plus more as needed for cooking

Sautéed Apple Topping

  • 2 green apples peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to a large bowl. Whisk until everything is blended.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the batter comes together but still has a few lumps.
  • Fold in the melted butter and grated apples. Do not overmix, or the pancakes may turn dense.
  • Place a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and let it warm up.
  • Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until the edges set and bubbles appear on top, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until golden. Adjust heat if they brown too fast.
  • Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you finish the rest.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced apples, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  • Stack the pancakes on plates, spoon the warm apple topping over them, and serve right away.
