Homemade Apple Pancakes

As fall starts to creep in, one of my favorite fruits become ripe, the apple. Apples are an amazing ingredients to cook and bake with all of the sweetness and great texture. These homemade apple pancakes are a great easy breakfast for these upcoming fall mornings. The pancakes come out light and fluffy and the apple topping adds a great apple flavor and sweetness with the butter and brown sugar sauce.  It's a great fruit filled breakfast that even kids will love. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, baking powder and 2 tablespoons brown sugar.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, applesauce, egg, vegetable oil and vanilla extract.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. There should be a few small lumps remaining.​ Place a nonstick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Drop ¼ cup of the batter onto the hot pan. Once bubbles form, flip the pancakes once and continue cooking 1 to 2 more minutes until the pancakes are cooked throughout.

In a skillet over medium heat, add the butter, the remaining 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, remaining ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon and apples pieces. Cook, stirring, until the apples have softened slightly.

Spoon and serve the apple topping over the pancakes and serve.
