Excellent apple pancake recipe. Next time I’ll add alittle of my King Arthur boiled cider for additional apple flavor and possibly pecans.this recipe is a keeper.

Oh….my….goodness. Seriously, these are the best pancakes I have EVER made. At some point I will try the pumpkin pancakes, but the apple pancakes will be on repeat at our house!

I did a “test batch” doing the recipe as written – I’ll be making these for 5 friend (+ me) on a friends weekend getaway. I ate 3 and froze 9. At our outing, I’ll definitely be making these changes (some of which were mentioned by others):
— I’ll either drain or squeeze the liquid from the grated apples (the liquid made the batter too runny), OR I’ll try a fine chop (but still blot or remove liquid)
–> Add extra cinnamon and some nutmeg for more “apple pie” forward flavors
–> Try a bit of fresh lemon juice
Because we’re going to a friend’s house and she won’t have much use for leftover buttermilk, I’ll be making up buttermilk from Bob’s Buttermilk Powder. I used it for the “test batch.” 2 TBSP makes 1 cup; it keeps for a long time, and it stops me from not being able to do recipes on short notice when buttermilk is in the ingredients. And I find its flavor superior to the old “milk + lemon juice” trick!

Amazing flavor.
Both husband and myself devoured them. Texture of shedded apple was great.

These were delicious! The second time I made them I added about 1tbsp lemon juice. It really brought out the apple flavor!

Made these this morning and they were excellent! I was worried it’d be too much liquid (I forgot to squeeze any liquid out of the apples) but it thickened a bit after sitting; batter was still a little runny when I put it in the pan but cooked up perfectly. My toddler enjoyed them too!

I doubled the cinnamon, would do that again, didn’t feel like it was too much. Also added a dash of cardamom but next time would try a proper 1/4 tsp of cardamom. Ginger would also probably taste great in here.

I used coarsely grated apples for almost the full cup and finely grated for the rest, next time would just do coarsely grated for all. Left the peel on and that was totally fine.

These are really excellent and wife loved them. Very easy to put together, but do remember to squeeze some of the liquid out of the grated apple. It doesn’t have to be extremely dry, but there’s a lot of liquid in an apple. Making smaller pancakes helped the cooking time and they cooked more evenly. Larger/thicker pancakes took some time to cook through so you might have to play with the temp. Five stars!

In reply to Valerie. Hi Valerie, I recently noticed that as well! Hopefully it doesn't confuse too many people.
