Growing up, my family would always gather around the breakfast table to enjoy a hot, delicious meal together. Whether it was my mom’s famous omelette or my dad’s famous pancakes, we all looked forward to those mornings. But, my favorite breakfast of all time was my mom’s Apple Pie Pancakes.
These pancakes were like a warm hug in a plate. The combination of warm apples and spicy cinnamon made these pancakes a family favorite. We would often make a double batch of these pancakes because they were so mouth-watering!
My mom’s Apple Pie Pancakes were so delicious that I’ve kept the recipe and shared it with my own family. Now, I’m excited to share it with you!
Variations: For a sweeter pancake, add an additional tablespoon of sugar. For a healthier option, use almond milk instead of regular milk. For a nutty flavor, add ½ cup of chopped nuts to the batter.
