These fluffy pancakes are packed with cozy apple pie flavor and come together in no time! Chopped apple pie filling is folded into a simple batter made with flour, baking powder, apple pie spice, and milk, then cooked golden brown in a buttery skillet. Top with maple syrup, caramel, or whipped cream for the ultimate fall-inspired breakfast treat.
Take the ¾th of the can of apple pie filling, place on cutting board and give it a light chop. Just enough to break down large pieces of apples to less than an ½ inch long. Once chopped set aside.
In a large mixing bowl add the all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder,¼th teaspoon apple pie spice , mix until combined
Once combined fold in the can of apple pie filing and fold until mixed
Take a sauté pan and place on burner on medium heat. When pan is heated grease the bottom of the pan with butter. Once melted take about ¼ measuring cup and pour your pancake mix in the sauté pan.
Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes just until golden brown.
Notes
Don’t overmix your batter—lumps are okay! Overmixing = tough pancakes.
Keep pancakes warm in the oven at 200°F while cooking the rest.
Add chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) for extra crunch.
Try swapping apple pie spice for cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice if that’s what you have.
