Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Apples
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for cooking)
- Powdered sugar (for topping, optional)
- Maple syrup (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Peel and core the apples. Slice them into rings approximately 1/4-inch thick, then set them aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until there are no lumps. Avoid overmixing to ensure the batter stays light and fluffy.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with vegetable oil.
Dip each apple ring into the pancake batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off before placing the apple ring onto the hot skillet.
Cook the apple rings for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the pancake coating is golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked apple ring pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining apple slices, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the apple ring pancakes warm, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup if desired.
