Apple Pancake Rings
Apple Pancake Rings are sliced apples dipped in cinnamon pancake batter, and fried on either side just like a regular pancake - but these are healthier!

Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk (see note below)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 apples, sliced into thin rounds, seeds removed
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, and oil.
-
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just moistened (batter will be lumpy!)
-
Heat a griddle or large frying pan to medium heat and grease with a small amount of butter.
-
Using either your fingers, a fork, or a toothpick, dip apple rounds into pancake batter, making sure both sides of the apple round gets completely coated.
-

Serve warm with maple syrup.
Recipe Notes
*To make your own buttermilk: Measure out a scant cup of 1 1/2 cups of milk into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and stir to combine. Let stand 5-10 minutes. Use in place of store-bought buttermilk.
*Alternative: Replace all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for an even healthier option!
Yield: Recipe yield will be different, depending on the size of your apples and how thinly or thickly they are sliced. Roughly, this recipe will feed 3-4 people.
