Caramel Apple Pancakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Caramel Apple Pancakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a large cast iron skillet and melting some butter over medium heat.

2. Step 2

   As the butter begins to sizzle, toss in your diced apples and sprinkle them with a pinch of sea salt.

3. Step 3

   Give everything a good stir to ensure the apples are well-coated in that delicious buttery goodness.

4. Step 4

   Now, cover the skillet with a lid and let the apples steam for about two minutes.

5. Step 5

   When the time’s up, remove the lid and take a peek at those apples.

6. Step 6

   If they’re browning too quickly, don’t hesitate to lower the heat a bit.

7. Step 7

   Cover them again and let them cook until they’re nice and soft, which should take around two to four minutes.

8. Step 8

   Once they’re tender, take off the lid and keep stirring frequently until the apples turn a lovely golden brown, which should take another couple of minutes.

9. Step 9

   When they’re just right, remove the skillet from the heat and mix in some coconut sugar, cinnamon, and a dash of apple pie spice.

10. Step 10

    Set this sweet mixture aside; it’s going to be the star of your pancakes.

11. Step 11

    Next, in a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda.

12. Step 12

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and that melted butter you used earlier.

13. Step 13

    Now, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir gently until just combined.

14. Step 14

    You want to keep it light and fluffy, so don’t overmix! Now it’s time to heat up a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat.

15. Step 15

    For each pancake, pour about a quarter cup of batter onto the hot surface.

16. Step 16

    Watch as bubbles form and the edges start to look dry—this usually takes about three to four minutes.

17. Step 17

    When you see those signs, it’s time to flip the pancake and cook the other side until it’s beautifully browned, which should take another two to three minutes.

18. Step 18

    Keep repeating this process with the remaining batter, and soon you’ll have a stack of fluffy pancakes ready to go.

19. Step 19

    Serve your warm pancakes topped with those caramelized apples you set aside earlier.

20. Step 20

    The combination of the sweet, buttery apples with the fluffy pancakes is simply irresistible.
