Fluffy, fragrant pancakes packed with the comforting flavors of autumn, perfect for lazy weekends or holiday mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peeled and diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking apples)
  • Butter (for greasing skillet)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apple mixture: In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and caramelize slightly. Set aside to cool.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (190g) of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (240ml) of milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until combined. Be careful not to overmix—a few lumps are okay.
  5. Add the apples: Fold the cooled apple mixture into the pancake batter. Stir just until incorporated.
  6. Preheat the skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter and swirl to coat the surface.
  7. Cook the pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup (60ml) of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Keep warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you finish the batch.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings—maple syrup, whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra crunch.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy. Use room-temperature ingredients for smoother batter and even cooking.
