Caramel Apple Pancakes

Ever wondered how to make pancakes from scratch? Let me show you! These apple pancakes are the perfect treat for a fall breakfast!

I went to the grocery store the other day, as I do every single day of my life it seems, and they had bags and bags of local apples.

Ah, yes. It’s Fall. Bring on the apple onslaught.

We’ve already done Apple Fritters, which are often served for breakfast, so let’s keep with the trend, right?

Caramel Apple Pancakes.

These fluffy pancakes are topped with caramel apples!

Yeah, buddy.

These only take an extra minute to make, too. Peel and dice your apple before mixing up your pancake batter and they can cook while your flipping the pancakes. Easy as pie. Speaking of which…I see an apple pie in all of our futures.

Check out how to make pancakes from scratch in the below video. It’s so easy and way better than a box mix!

These apple pancakes are seriously good, you guys. My kiddos devoured them and I had to fight for a few leftover scraps. Not cool, kids.

If you tend to resort to making pancakes from a box mix, I feel you. It just seems so much easier, but truthfully pancakes from scratch really aren’t hard and they don’t take much extra time. I should know – I wrote an entire book full of pancake recipes. It contains 70 pancake and syrup recipes for breakfast, dinner, and dessert. You can see a few samples by checking out my s’mores pancakes, my peach pecan pancakes, and my cinnamon raisin bread pancakes. Orrrrr, you can just hop over to Amazon and pick up a copy of Stack Happy.

If you’re more of a pumpkin person, give my pumpkin coffee cake a try this fall!
