Here is a fun twist on the traditional pancake – fresh apples sliced and dipped in pancake batter, then cooked until golden. Your kids will devour them, and more than likely you will eat a few yourself. These are great for breakfast or for an after school snack!
~Apple Pancake Rings~
3-4 apples - peeled, cored, sliced to 1/8” thick
Pancake batter
1 t. vanilla
1 t. cinnamon (optional)
Maple syrup
Using your favorite pancake batter, make the pancake mix according to the instructions on the package. I always add vanilla to my pancakes, it makes them taste like they didn’t come from a box. This would also be the time to add the cinnamon if you wanted to use it.
Dip apple slices into batter, coating all sides. {Just a quick note: semi-thick batter will work best when it comes to getting the pancake batter to stick to the apples.}
Cook them just like you would a regular pancake, about one minute the first side, and about 30 seconds after you flip. I have a gas stove so I always use my stove top griddle and I love it!
Serve warm with your favorite maple syrup or top with powdered sugar.
---Enjoy!
