There's nothing like a fresh stack of pancakes on a weekend morning, and this Spiced Apple version is our fall favorite.
Ingredients
  • 1⅓ c. all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp. baking powder
  • 1½ tsp. ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • 4 tbsp. butter, divided, plus more for cooking
  • 1 large egg, separated
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1¼ c. milk
  • 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped (about 5 to 6 cups)
  • ½ c. dark or light brown sugar
Instructions
  1. Mix flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. In a large bowl, whisk to combine egg yolk, vanilla, milk, and melted butter. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined, then fold in 1½ cups of chopped apple.
  2. In another medium bowl, using a hand mixer, beat egg white until stiff peaks form. Fold egg white into batter gently with a rubber spatula until just combined.
  3. Make apple topping: in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add remaining apples, brown sugar, remaining ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and a ¼ cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples have softened and mixture is jammy, 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Pour about ¼ cup pancake batter into pan. When little bubbles appear, about 1 to 2 minutes, flip and continue cooking until both sides are lightly golden. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to pan as needed. Serve pancakes topped with apple mixture.
