Description

These Old Fashioned Whole Wheat Apple Pancakes are extremely fluffy, satisfying, and stuffed to the brim with brown sugar dusted apple rings.


Ingredients

Scale

For the pancakes:

  • 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 egg

For the apples:

  • 2 apples
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

For toppings:

  • maple syrup, chopped pecans, powdered sugar, vanilla yogurt, honey

Instructions

  1. Mix the flours, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Whisk the honey, melted butter, milk, ad eggs together in a separate bowl. Combine the two bowls together, stirring until mostly smooth.
  2. Core the apples using an apple corer, or just insert a small knife several times around the core, pushing through to the bottom of the apple, and then pushing the loosened core up and out. Use a mandoline to slice the apples into circles, or use a large knife and slice them very thinly. Mix the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon together. Dust the apple pieces in this mixture.
  3. Place a small pat of butter on a hot skillet. Add the apples (see picture for how I overlapped them) and wait for a few minutes so the apples start to soften. When the apples have softened a little bit, pour a scoop of pancake batter over the center and let it spread out just to the edges of the apples. Wait a few minutes until you see bubbles rising and the bottom looks dry. Use a spatula to carefully flip the pancakes – cook another few minutes on the back side until cooked through. Serve warm with maple syrup, chopped pecans, a dusting of powdered sugar. I also love yogurt and honey on top!
