Apple Pancake Recipe | Dishes Delish (2024)

This apple pancake recipe is something I grew up with. The soft cooked apples are nestled within a delicious batter. They are so good that you can eat them without maple syrup, but why would you want to?

Where, oh Where?

After my grandmother died, her red, handwritten recipe book disappeared. Our family was sad. We lost access to a lot of great recipes.

Not all of them, thankfully because some of her recipes were written down and saved by family members. While others were etched in thememories of those of us who made them fairly often.

I’ve written before that I love breakfast foods for dinner.My all time favorite was when my grandmother would make her pancakes for all of us to eat. We’d have them on her good china and boy, it was a feast.

My nana made a few different varieties: potato pancakes, plain pancakes, and the apple pancakes in today’s post.

I have tried to replicate all three of thesedifferent pancakes but I have not been successful.

Helpful tips

• I make these pancakes with Macintosh apples, but you can make them with any apple you’d make an apple pie with.
• I use spelt flour with a lot of my recipes, but if you only have all purpose white flour, it works perfectly. I’ve never tried to make this recipe with whole wheat but I know it will work.
• If you don’t have a microwave, you can sauté the apples for 3 – 5 minutes. Don’t over cook them, just soften them.
• If you can’t eat these pancakes in one sitting, they store well. Layer them with cut pieces of parchment paper and place in a plastic baggie then put in the fridge.
• They heat up nicely in a toaster oven.

How to make apple pancakes

Pre-step

Get a sauté pan or cast iron griddle and a mixing bowl.

Step one

Gather the ingredients – apples, spelt flour and baking powder.

Step two

Get the wet ingredients – apple, almond milk, water and olive oil. (A)

Step three

Peeltheapples and slice them into rings. Take a sharp knife and cut out the core in each apple round. (B)

My grandmother used to have one of these apple corers which I need to buy.

Step four

Microwave the apples for one and a half minutes. You want them to be softened but not soggy. (C)

Step five

Add the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt to the mixing bowl and mix them together.

Step six

Add the egg, milk, water and oil and use a spatula to mix until just combined. (D)

Step seven

Heat the sauté pan on medium. Once it has heated, add a dollop of butter and once it melts, spoon in some batter. I make 4 pancakes at a time.

Step eight

Take an apple ring and place it in the batter in the pan and dribble some more batter on top of it.

Step nine

Once the bottom of the pancakes arebrowned, flip themover and brown the otherside as well.

Repeat until all the batter and apple slices are gone.

I add butter on top but Christopher loves to sprinkle cinnamon on his pancakes.

Time to stack some on a plate.

Christopher, you are needed STAT! This maple syrup won’t pour itself.

Mmmmmm.

Time to cut into them. Look at the apples in the middle.

Both Christopher and I were happy campers!

I hope you enjoyed this apple pancake recipe.

And as always, may all your dishes be delish!
