Caramel Apple Pancakes

Juicy soft apple pieces enwrapped in vanilla and cinnamon fluffy pancakes, with a thick sweet caramel sauce.. all homemade!Caramel Apple Pancakes - Cafe Delites

With that intro, do I need to say more? This was breakfast. This was an accident. Sort of. All I wanted was pancakes. But, you see, the way my brain works, I can’t do simple pancakes. I have to complicate my life. It’s standard Karina.

Caramel Apple Pancakes - Cafe delitesAnd what came out from a pancake craving…well, let’s just say, I’m not complaining. Because who doesn’t want homemade caramel syrup first thing in the morning?

Rushing home from taking my kids to school in the morning, I had pancakes banging inside my head from one side to the other, over and over. But what type of pancakes? Then I heard the apples singing to me as I opened the door and walked into the kitchen. So. Caramel Apple Pancakes it is. Or was. And fresh from making those Caramel Apple Chai Muffins a few days ago, I knew I wanted them again. In pancake from. Because. Pancakes.

Caramel Apple Pancakes - cafedelitesAnd lucky for meeeeee I had 2 apples needing and begging to be sliced open and tampered with. One for inside the pancakes, and one for the caramel perfection happening outside, on top and all over the pancakes. Is there really any other way?

Caramel Apple Pancakes - Cafe delitesPure heaven on a plate.

Caramel Apple Pancakes - Cafe delitesActually, if I’m going to be completely honest, I’m just finishing the last stack as I’m typing this out. It’s going something like this: type, stab, eat, lick (fork and fingers), type, swallow, float up to heaven for a bit, stab another piece, eat, close my eyes for a few seconds, chew, float up to heaven again, lick fork and fingers…well, you get the idea.Caramel Apple Pancakes - Cafe delitesAnd those apple pieces inside the cake fluffiness? Well oh em gee and slap me sideways. The End and Amen.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

Pancakes

  • 1 1/2 cups plain flour (spelt or all purpose are fine)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup natural granulated sweetener/sugar of choice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 2 heaping tablespoons apple sauce (if you're in Australia, I simply use the Coles or Woolies brands)
  • 2 tablespoons light butter (I use Flora light) or coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 apple , chopped finely

Caramel Apples

  • 1 apple , cored and sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons light butter
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar (or try coconut sugar for a healthier option)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup low fat milk

Instructions

Pancakes:

  • In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sweetener/sugar and cinnamon. Make a well in the centre, and add the vanilla, egg, apple sauce, butter/coconut oil and milk, whisking until a smooth batter is formed and free from lumps. Fold the apples through the batter.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto a non stick pan/griddle sprayed with cooking oil (I use coconut oil), on low - medium heat.
  • Cook pancakes as you normally would, flipping when golden and removing when cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, make your caramel apples sauce in between flipping pancakes.

Caramel Apples:

  • Combine apples, butter, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until butter is melted. Add half of the milk while stirring and bring to a gentle simmer. When the syrup begins to thicken, add the rest of the milk, stirring again, and simmer on low heat until apples are soft. Set aside and watch the caramel magic happen while it thickens into a heavenly caramel syrup!
  • Meanwhile, make the pancakes!
  • To serve, place 3 pancakes on plate with apple syrup. Option: top with crushed nuts

    I don’t normally leave reviews but I HAD to for these pancakes. Seriously, these are perfect. With a dollop of ice cream they would make an amazing dessert too. If you read this review, MAKE THE PANCAKES!!!
