Apple Ring Pancakes
The perfect fall treat, these apple ring pancakes are the ultimate comfort food and so much fun to eat!
Ingredients
- 3 large apples (I used Gala)
- 3 tablespoons melted butter or vegan butter
- 2 cups flour (all purpose, whole wheat or spelt flour)
- ¼ cup sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups buttermilk*
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
-
Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave and cool.
-
In a large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients.
-
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs with a fork and add the buttermilk, vanilla and cooled melted butter.
-
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until mixed: do not over mix! It may still look lumpy.
-
Peel and core the apples using an apple corer. Cut each apple on its side (you want to keep the hole in the middle) into ¼-inch thick slices.
-
Heat a griddle or large pan with a small amount of vegetable oil on medium heat until the oil sizzles when a drop of water is added to the pan.
-
Using a set of tongs, dip each apple slice into the batter and cook until golden brown on each side.
-
Enjoy with whatever you like to dress your pancakes with. These are amazing with a dollop of vanilla yogurt!
Recipe Notes
*If you don’t have buttermilk you can add 1 Tbsp. of white vinegar or lemon juice per 1 cup of your favourite milk and let it sit for 5 minutes as a substitute.
