As a busy mom, I’m always looking for quick and easy recipes that my family will love—and these Apple Pie Pancakes are a definite hit! I created this recipe one morning when I was in a hurry to get the kids off to school and wanted to make them a special breakfast. I had some apples that were starting to go a bit soft, and I figured what better way to use them than to make a delicious breakfast treat. After experimenting a bit in the kitchen, I ended up with this authentic apple pie pancakes recipe that my kids just love. They can’t get enough of it!
The great thing about this recipe is that you can customize it however you want. If you want more of an apple pie flavor, use a bit more cinnamon and nutmeg. If you’re looking for a sweeter, more cinnamon-doughnut type of flavor, add more sugar. You can even add a bit of maple syrup or honey if you’d like. And don’t forget to top it off with a generous dollop of whipped cream or ice cream for an extra special treat!
My whole family loves these Apple Pie Pancakes, and I’m sure yours will too. Give them a try and let me know what you think!
