Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

Real apple pieces and a hearty helping of cinnamon turn regular pancakes into these simple, yet special Apple Cinnamon Pancakes.



I was in a fruity pancake mood, and I immediately thought of “banana pancakes,” but I’ve heard mixed reviews on those. You know the ones with just bananas and eggs? Yeah, so I decided to go the safe route and just do a simple pancake recipe with the addition of apples and cinnamon. Since I love fruit with my pancakes, I figured these apple cinnamon pancakes would be a tasty idea, and it worked out well.
I wanted pieces of real fruit in my apple cinnamon pancakes, so I grated an apple and used apple juice instead of milk to help enhance the apple flavor. The pieces of shredded apple aren’t so thick that it ruins the texture of the pancake, but they are distinct enough to know that they come from an apple.

If you didn’t know, today is national pancake day. These apple cinnamon pancakes are a great way to celebrate! They are almost as quick to whip up as regular pancakes. If you want more pancake ideas, scroll through the recipes below. Enjoy!
