Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large egg
- 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced thinly)
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for caramelizing apples)
- 0.5 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir to coat the apples evenly.
Cook the apples for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and caramelized. Remove from heat.
To serve, stack the pancakes on a plate and top with the caramelized apples. Drizzle with caramel sauce and, if desired, a dollop of whipped cream.
Enjoy your Caramel Apple Pancakes warm!
