Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Addition:
- 1 cup peeled and finely chopped apple (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
Instructions
- Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Add Apple: Fold in the chopped apples.
- Cook Pancakes: Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream.
Health Benefits
Apple pie pancakes can offer some nutritional value when made at home. Apples are a good source of fiber and vitamin C, supporting digestion and immunity. Using buttermilk adds calcium and protein, while spices like cinnamon may help support blood sugar balance. Preparing them yourself allows better control over sugar and fat levels.
