Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
These apple cinnamon pancakes are light and fluffy and chock full of apples and cinnamon!
I love Fall. The cool mornings, the changing leaves, the feeling of a fresh start, and of course the return of fall baking.Β I love baking with apples and pumpkin and finding new recipes that taste like Fall should taste.
These apple cinnamon pancakes fit that description perfectly. They’re full of fresh diced apples, lots of cinnamon and just the right amount of sugar. They look like traditional pancakes from the outside, but when you bite into them you get the taste of fresh baked cinnamon apples. Yum. π
I made these for breakfast on my day off last week and Mike and I both loved them!Β As Mike was leaving for work he turned back to me and said: “Could you make me breakfast every day?” Ha, not likely, but at least I know these were a hit. π

Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
Yield: Makes 14-18 small pancakes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
These apple cinnamon pancakes are light and fluffy and chock full of apples and cinnamon!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1 apple, peeled and chopped
- 1 egg
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
Directions:
Whisk together flour, salt, cinnamon, sugar and baking powder in a medium sized bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, applesauce and vegetable oil or melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Stir in the chopped apples. Donβt worry if it's still a little lumpy.
Let the batter sit for 10 minutes while you heat the skillet. Over low-medium heat melt a tablespoon of butter. Once the skillet is hot, add about 1/3 cup scoop of batter to the pan. Let cook until bubbles begin to form on the top surface and bottom is lightly browned. Carefully flip with a spatula and cook the second side until golden brown, a couple minutes more.

Am I missing something??? I see pumpkin listed in the ingredients but no apples. Am I not seeing that? This recipe as written sounds fantastic for fall, but even more so with apples!

I made these last night! They were really good– I added a little vanilla extract and some extra cinnamon. Next time I may cook the apples a little to take some crunch out, but these were great as is. Definitely perfect fall pancake π

2 TBs cornstarch
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Mix sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg well. Add apple cider and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and continue boiling for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Store leftovers in the refrigerator, use within a week or two.

These look amazing! I think I’ll try grating the apples so they’ll cook well in the pancakes. These also look like they would be a good thing to freeze for quick and somewhat healthy breakfasts. Thank you!!

Tried these this morning, they were great! Not too heavy, although I think I had my heat turned up a bit too high since they were a little more moist than a pancake usually is (which might be because of the applesauce).
I peeled, chopped and then microwaved the apples for 45 seconds just to get them a little more soft and ready. Put the pancakes on a rack to cool as well.
Nice cheap,easy recipe for a college student like me!
So glad you liked them! π Thanks for letting me know how they turned out.
OH MY GOSH! How will I ever find time to try ALL these FANTASTIC recipes! SOOO Not fair!
My mouth is actually watering looking at this! And I’m not a big pancake person!
YUM!
And WOW! I will DEFINITELY be trying that syrup recipe! THANKS!
My kiddos have food allergies so from scratch is what we do about 70% of the time! Nice to have some new ideas!
THANK YOU!!!
Can these be put in freezer and warmed in morning for a quick kids breakfast?
Thanks
Just made these and they are awesome! I thought the batter looked a little thick after the first one was in the skillet so I added more milk to the rest of the batter. Well the first one (which was according to your recipe exactly) came out perfect…I should have just trusted you!
I’m so glad you liked them!! π
Absolutely delicious and just what we were looking for! Thanks!
So glad you liked them!

These were very good. I made 11 pancakes. The only change I made was to substitute 1/4 C. wheat germ for 1/4 C. flour. They still turned out quite fluffy. Thanks for the great recipe. It was pretty easy to make too.
