We recommend freezing the pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet; after they&#8217;re firm (usually an hour or two), transfer them to zippered freezer bags. They&#8217;ll keep in the freezer for one to two months. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying them for breakfast.<\/p>\n<h2>Apple Pancake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2038289\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cinnamon-Apple-Pancakes_TOHD24_24383_DianaChistruga_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Apple pancakes on a plate drizzled with honey and a fork on the side\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Diana Chistruga for Taste Recipes <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Could I make this apple pancake recipe in a skillet instead?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, a skillet would work. If you don&#8217;t have a griddle, melt some butter in a skillet over medium heat. When the pan is warm, add enough batter to make one large pancake, or two small pancakes. It&#8217;ll take a little longer to make all the pancakes, but they&#8217;ll still be delicious!<\/p>\n<h3>Why aren&#8217;t my pancakes fluffy?<\/h3>\n<p>If your pancakes didn&#8217;t turn out fluffy, it&#8217;s most likely because you overmixed the batter. Too much mixing affects the flour in a way that makes it harder for pancakes to rise.

I was looking for a savory and sweet apple cinnamon pancake.These pancakes came together easily and yielded a consistently fluffy product, not mushy or wet or too clumpy. My issue is that they are rather tasteless! The author notes they are so sweet that you don't need syrup - I disagree! The pancakes are flavorless. I usually put butter, lemon juice and plenty of sugar in my regular pancakes. I was shocked to see no sugar listed on the ingredients, but assumed the honey in this recipe would more than make up for it. It does not! I couldn't even taste the honey, to be honest. And I used locally sourced, amazing honey!!!I had to load my pancakes with syrup for them to be sweet enough for me to enjoy.After all is said and done, I'm probably more likely to simply add chopped apples and cinnamon to my normal pancake recipe next time and see how it turns out.Worth a shot though - maybe you will like your pancakes less sweet.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2010-11-09","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"p.stillo"},"reviewBody":"What a healthy and quick pancake recipe.
