These Apple Cinnamon Pancakes are incredibly fluffy, packed with tender spiced apples, and drenched in a warm cinnamon syrup. The perfect cozy breakfast to brighten any morning, bringing a touch of fall comfort to your table.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk

  • 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced (e.g., Gala, Fuji)

  • For the Cinnamon Apple Topping:

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and diced into ½-inch pieces

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

  • 2 tbsp water or apple cider

Directions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix. Fold in the finely diced apple.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles form on the surface.
  • While pancakes cook, prepare the Cinnamon Apple Topping: Melt 1 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced apple and cook for 3-5 minutes, until slightly softened.
  • Stir in brown sugar and ½ tsp cinnamon. Add 2 tbsp water or apple cider and simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Serve stacks of warm pancakes generously topped with the cinnamon apple mixture and a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired. Enjoy your homemade breakfast creation!

Notes

    • Don’t Overmix: For truly fluffy pancakes, resist the urge to vigorously mix the batter. A few lumps are perfectly normal and actually help create a tender crumb. Just stir until the dry ingredients are barely moistened, then stop.
    • Apple Choice Matters: While many apples work, a firmer apple like Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp holds its shape better when cooked in the topping and diced into the batter. Granny Smith adds a nice tart counterpoint if you prefer a less sweet profile.
    • Batch Cooking Tip: If you’re making a big batch for a crowd, keep cooked pancakes warm in a single layer on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C). This ensures everyone gets to enjoy perfectly warm, fluffy pancakes!
