That’s why the majority of the apple treats we make are in the form of waffles, french toast, or crisps. These pancakes are probably the fastest of them all, taking less than 20 minutes to throw together and cook. Now, that’s what I’m talking about! I made these “fritter” pancakes mildly sweet, since most people like to top their pancakes with syrup or powdered sugar anyway. However you want to top them, you’re sure to enjoy the warm, crispy outside and fluffy, apple-filled center. They’re the perfect warm treat to enjoy during those chilly, fall mornings.

Ingredients

2 cups apples (about 2-3 apples), peeled and chopped small (Gala or Granny Smith work well)
2 tbsp. Coconut Oil or other oil of choice, plus more for pan
1/4 cup Maple Syrup
1 1/3 cups almond milk or other milk of choice (a splash more may be needed)
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tbsp. Baking Powder
2 cups regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour

Method

01

In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add milk, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil and stir just until combined. Gently fold in chopped apples. The batter should be thick. but if it is too thick to stir, just add a splash more milk.
02

Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil is melted and the pan is hot, pour batter by the ¼ cupfuls into the pan. If necessary, use your spatula or a spoon to gently spread dough into a round pancake, so it cooks evenly. Cook about 1-2 minutes per side. Turn down the heat if pancakes are browning too fast or not cooking in the middle.
03

Remove when lightly browned and center is cooked. Continue to cook in batches until all the batter is used up, adding more oil to the pan when needed.
04

If desired, top pancakes with a dusting of powdered sugar or maple syrup. Makes 10-12 pancakes.
