Spiced Apple Pancakes Recipes

SHEET-PAN APPLE-SPICE PANCAKE

Steps:

• Make the pancake: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar and pie spice in a large bowl. Rub a rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons butter and arrange the apple slices on top in a single layer; sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the sugar mixture. Bake until the apples are tender and the baking sheet is mostly dry, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk both flours, the baking powder, baking soda and salt into the remaining sugar mixture. Whisk the milk, yogurt, eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl. Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture.
• Pour the batter over the apples and gently spread to cover. Bake until dry on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Let cool 15 minutes.
• Make the glaze: Stir the confectioners' sugar, cider and pie spice in a bowl. Drizzle over the pancake. Cut into squares, invert onto plates and serve with maple syrup and/or whipped cream.

EBELSKIVER (SPICED APPLE-FILLED PANCAKES)

Steps:

• To make the filling:
• In a fry pan over medium heat, cook the butter, brown sugar, apples, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and lemon juice, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes.

CARAMELIZED APPLE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Remove lid and stir. Reduce heat slightly if apples are starting to brown too much. Cover and cook until apples are soft, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove lid and continue to cook, stirring, until apples are lightly browned all over, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and mix in coconut sugar, cinnamon, and apple pie spice. Set aside.
• Sift flour into a medium mixing bowl and add sugar, salt, and baking soda. Mix to combine. Whisk together buttermilk, egg, and melted butter in a second bowl. Pour liquid ingredients into flour mixture; stir just enough to incorporate.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter at a time onto the hot griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve pancakes with caramelized apples.
