Let’s celebrate the cooler weather with a stack of warm apple pancakes!<\/strong> These apple-flavored pancakes are the perfect autumnal breakfast treat. They’re a simple weekend breakfast project that keeps well for quick weekday mornings (they freeze and thaw well, too). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This apple pancake recipe is made from scratch with freshly grated apple,<\/strong> which is enhanced by a touch of ground cinnamon. Tart apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith offer the most impactful flavor. You’ll see that I used Honeycrisp apples in this batch—they’re our family’s favorite, and they yield terrific pancakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might already have everything you need to make these pancakes in your pantry. Let’s make some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Apple Pancake Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You’ll find the full recipe below. Here are a few tips to help achieve pancake success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flour options include white whole wheat flour, regular whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour.<\/strong> I try to use whole-grain flours when I can, but all-purpose flour offers the most neutral flavor, allowing the apple to shine. Otherwise, you can use white whole wheat flour (now called “golden wheat” by King Arthur Flour) for all of the nutrition of whole wheat without the nutty flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lightly coat your griddle or skillet with oil.<\/strong> I cook my pancakes with avocado oil because it offers a high smoke point and neutral flavor (butter burns quickly). Whichever you use, be sure to wipe off the excess with a paper towel so it doesn’t start smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by cooking just one pancake.<\/strong> Once you’ve practiced with one pancake and ensured that your skillet is adequately preheated, you can make more at once. Leave a couple of inches between each pancake to allow for easy flipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pancakes are ready to flip when about 1\/2-inch of the perimeter has turned from glossy to matte.<\/strong> The underside should be nicely golden at this point. If you’re uncertain, it’s best to wait a little longer than end up with a doughy mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As time goes on, dial down the heat.<\/strong> The skillet gets hotter the longer it’s on the stove. If your pancakes are burning on the outside before they are cooked through on the inside, your skillet is too hot. Turn down the heat a bit after every few pancakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
