Apple stuffed pancakes

Apple stuffed pancakes are regular pancakes with apples in the middle. The crisp of the apples and soft pancakes tastes awesome. If you are kids who are fuzzy in eating fruits you can dip in the pancake batter-coated on both sides and do like a regular pancake. You can use pineapples too. I used almond milk to make it vegan.

For pancake mix, you can refer here or use instant pancake mix. Prepare the pancake mix ahead and have it in the container. When needed, combine the wet ingredients. Make sure you slice the apple a little thicker so that it will not break.

Questions/Tips

Yes, for a quick version, use pancake mix. Prepare the batter as per the instruction. However, if using buttermilk complete pancake mix, for 1 cup of pancake mix add 3/4 cup of water/milk and flavor with vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.

How to prepare Pancake mix?

I want to choose my flour, so I want to go from scratch. Preparing pancake mix is so quick, as easy as using the pancake mix. For egg-free pancake mix, I always follow this recipe.

• Whole wheat flour or APF – 1 cup
• Sugar – 1 tbsp
• Baking powder – 1 tbsp
• Oil – 1 tbsp
• Milk – 1 cup
• Vanilla extract

Mix the dry ingredients to store in bulk, and when preparing the pancake add milk and oil.

Can I add sugar to the batter?

You can add sugar from 1 tablespoon to 1/4 cup for a cup of flour used. I added 1 tbsp of sugar.

Can I use whole wheat or other flour in this recipe?

Yes, you can any flour you like. Each flour acts differently. The texture, density, the liquid ratio varies. Whole wheat flour gives denser pancakes than oatmeal. All-purpose flour will be exactly like oatmeal.

Should I peel the skin of an apple?

Not necessarily. I didn’t peel the skin of the apple.

Meal prep/ How to store apple stuffed pancakes

It is so easy to prepare, so I suggest keeping the dry ingredients and wet ingredients ready in a separate container. When ready, mix and cook the pancakes. The pancakes stay in the refrigerator well for 2-3 days, I don’t recommend freezing the apple stuffed pancakes.
