How to Make Apple Pancakes

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  2. Add the sour cream, apple juice, honey, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Gently fold in the grated apple.
  4. In a separate skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  5. Add the thinly sliced apples to the skillet. Cook until tender and softened, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. They should begin to break down into a sauce.
  6. Stir in the brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon to taste.
  7. Set the apple topping aside.
  8. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  9. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  10. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  11. Keep cooked pancakes warm while you finish the remaining batter.
  12. Serve the pancakes immediately, topped with the warm apple topping and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
