Best Caramel Apple Pancakes Recipes

MINI GERMAN PANCAKES WITH APPLE-CALVADOS CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the milk, sugar, vanilla, zest and eggs in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the flour, butter and salt and blend until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Spray muffin tins well with nonstick cooking spray and pour 1/4 cup batter into each tin, filling about three-quarters full. Bake until puffy and golden on top, about 15 minutes. Remove and let sit on a baking rack for a few minutes. Remove the individual pancakes to a platter. The pancakes will sink slightly in the center. Fill with some of the Apple-Calvados Caramel Sauce and dust with cinnamon powdered sugar.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples and cook, stirring until soft, about 8 minutes. Whisk in the sugar and cook until the sugar melts and thickens slightly. Remove the skillet from the heat, add the calvados, then return to the stove and cook until reduced. Add the heavy cream and cook until warmed through. Finish with the mint.

PUMPKIN-RICOTTA PANCAKES WITH SPICY APPLE-CIDER CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• For the caramel sauce: Combine the cream, apple juice, cloves, cinnamon, star anise, ginger and nutmeg in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and let steep for at least 20 minutes. Set aside and keep warm while you make the caramel.
• Combine the sugar, 1/2 cup water, and the cider vinegar in a medium saucepan over high heat, and cook without stirring until it reaches a deep amber color, about 8 minutes. Slowly strain in the warm cream, whisking constantly; continue whisking until smooth. (Be careful! The caramel will bubble up as you add the cream.) Whisk in the apple schnapps and cook for 30 seconds longer. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm. (The sauce can be made 2 days in advance and refrigerated. Reheat over low heat before serving.)
• For the pancakes: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Place a baking sheet with a rack in the oven to heat.
• Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger in a large bowl.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, ricotta, pumpkin and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and whisk until just combined; do not overmix. Let the batter sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Heat a large nonstick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Brush with melted butter or spray with nonstick spray. Drop a scant 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan; cook until small bubbles form on the surface and at the edges and the bottom is lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes. (Adjust the heat if the bottom browns too quickly.) Flip, and continue cooking until golden brown on the reverse side, another 2 or 3 minutes. Remove to the rack in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve the pancakes with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a dollop of creme fraiche.

CARAMEL APPLE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, cream, butter, and salt in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes. Mixture should be bubbly all over the surface. Mix in vanilla extract and cook, stirring, for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cooked, drained apples.
• Preheat an electric griddle to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly grease.
• Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
• Combine eggs and milk in a separate container, stirring briskly until eggs are well incorporated. Drizzle in melted butter while stirring. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until most of the lumps are gone.
• Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to pour batter in batches onto the preheated griddle, forming 6-inch pancakes.
• Cook until bubbles form on top of the pancakes and the surface begins to look a little dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Brown to desired doneness on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes. Keep first batch warm in a 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) oven, while the remaining pancakes cook.
• Serve a stack of 3 pancakes with caramelized apple sauce, and garnish with chopped, toasted walnuts.

CARAMEL APPLE PANCAKES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
• 2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium nonstick or cast-iron skillet. Whisk into the egg mixture and reserve the skillet for cooking the pancakes. Whisk the dry ingredients into the liquid mixture until it forms a thick, lumpy batter.
• 3. Core and grate the apple on the large holes of a box grater into a small bowl. Toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Add the caramel sauce and stir until the flour is absorbed. Stir into the batter until just combined.
• 4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Drop 2 tablespoons batter per pancake into the hot skillet. Cook until the surface of the pancakes form bubbles and the edges are set, about 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and continue to cook until puffed in the center, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm while making the rest of the pancakes. Continue to make the pancakes, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter as needed, until all the batter is gone.
