The flavors of fall apples come alive in these pancakes making them delicious for breakfast, or for a treat on those breakfast-for-dinner nights. Fall festival Apple Cider Pancakes
*Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2015. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.
If you're used to making pancakes from a box (trust me, I don't judge), put the box away this one time and make these Apple Cider Pancakes from scratch. You'll notice the difference, and they won't take hardly any more time or effort to make.
If, however, I can't talk you into skipping the box mix (been there, done that), you can easily elevate the box mix just by replacing the liquid called for on the box, with apple cider. It's such an easy swap and will add amazing fall flavor to your standard box pancakes.

-Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush the hot skillet with melted butter and pour as much pancake batter as you wish on the griddle (depending on how large you want your pancakes). Once the pancakes start to look dry on top and bubbles form all around the edges, use a spatula to carefully flip the pancakes and allow them to cook on the other side until golden.
-Remove to a platter, keep warm, and continue with the remaining batter.
-Serve with butter and maple syrup.
Thursdays are typically breakfast-for-dinner nights at our house, and it's something we all enjoy immensely. I served these pancakes along with lots of crispy bacon. Mmmm. No wonder Thursday night dinners are so popular around here.

I am totally digging the idea of apple cider in pancakes PLUS maple syrup. The only thing that would make it better is some bacon on the side... 😉
Carrie R says
