How to Make Fried Apple Pancakes

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Fried Apple Pancakes

  1. Prep the Apples: Begin by peeling and slicing the 3 apples. Mix them with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar, letting the flavors meld as you prepare the batter.

  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, sift together 250g of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, a pinch of salt, and a bit of sugar.

  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 200ml of milk until well combined.

  4. Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir gently until just mixed; it’s fine if there are a few lumps.

  5. Heat Oil: Pour oil for frying into a pan and heat it over medium heat until shimmering.

  6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour a ladle of batter into the pan, then place a few apple slices on top. Cook until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes, and then flip to cook the other side.

  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm, dusted with additional cinnamon and sugar if desired.

Storage Tips for Fried Apple Pancakes

Keeping your Fried Apple Pancakes fresh is a breeze! Here’s how to do it:

  • Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze: Place cooled pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze for 1-2 hours then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat: Warm in a toaster or microwave before serving.

Best Ways to Serve Fried Apple Pancakes

The way you present your Fried Apple Pancakes can elevate their appeal. Here are some serving ideas:

  • Traditional: Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup.
  • Dessert Style: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of crushed nuts.
  • Breakfast Twist: Pair with crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.

Layering textures and flavors makes for a delightful breakfast experience everyone will love.

Tips to Make Fried Apple Pancakes

  1. Choose the Right Apples: Tart apples like Granny Smith or sweet varieties such as Honeycrisp work best.
  2. Don’t Overmix: Gently combine your ingredients for the fluffiest texture.
  3. Control Heat: If the oil is too hot, you risk burning the pancakes; too low, and they won’t cook through.

Variations of Fried Apple Pancakes

Feel free to switch things up with these variations:

  • Spiced: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the batter for a spicier flavor profile.
  • Nutty: Mix in chopped walnuts or almonds for added crunch and nutrition.

These simple tweaks can easily transform your scrumptious pancakes into something uniquely yours!

FAQs

Q: Can I use other fruits?
A: Absolutely! Pears, bananas, or even berries can be substituted for apples.

Q: What if I don’t have baking powder?
A: You can make a baking powder substitute by mixing 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda with 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar for each teaspoon of baking powder needed.

  • Q: How do I prevent my pancakes from sticking?
    A: Ensure your pan is fully heated before adding the oil, and don’t skip on using enough oil!

Enjoy making your Fried Apple Pancakes! The process is simple, and the result is a warm hug on a plate, a true culinary delight, and a dish that echoes love and comfort. Whether you’re serving them to family, friends, or simply treating yourself, these pancakes are bound to become a beloved staple in your kitchen.

Hey, I’m DeShawn Ellis—friends call me D. I’m 42 years old, born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, and now I’m holding it down in Atlanta, Georgia, where I run a soul food kitchen that’s as much about storytelling as it is about the food. Cooking isn’t just what I do it’s who I am. It’s how I honor where I come from, and how I speak love into the world.

My earliest memories are in my grandma’s kitchen barefoot on a step stool, stirring roux while she told me stories about her own mama, who used to cook for church fish fries back in the ’50s. That kitchen was my school. That woman was my first chef. She never measured a thing, but everything came out perfect. She taught me that food could heal, could gather people, could celebrate and comfort at the same time.

I didn’t come up through culinary school I came up through Sunday dinners, community cookouts, and elbow grease. I worked every back-of-house job you can think of, from janitor to pitmaster. Over time, I built my own rhythm in the kitchen deeply rooted in Southern Black tradition but open to everything. My oxtails have a splash of Caribbean heat. My collards might get kissed with smoked paprika and a dash of coconut vinegar. And yeah, I’ll put Cajun spice on anything that holds still long enough.

What drives me most is making food that feels like a hug from home. I want folks to taste a dish and remember their auntie's kitchen, or a summer evening on the porch, or that one bite that made them feel seen. But I also want to evolve because our food, our culture, is not stuck in the past. It’s growing, remixing, finding new voices. I’m proud to be one of them.

I cook for people who love food with a story behind it. You don’t need fancy tools or a French accent to make magic you just need heart, hustle, and a little bit of fire. If you’ve ever cooked with love, failed with style, or fed someone just to see them smile, then we’re already family.

Welcome to my kitchen. Let’s build something beautiful one bite at a time.
