Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into small pieces
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
3. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it can make the pancakes dense.
4. Gently fold in the chopped apples, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon into the pancake batter.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or cooking spray as needed.
8. Serve the pancakes stack on a plate, drizzle with caramel sauce, and sprinkle with chopped walnuts (optional).
9. Enjoy the warm and delicious Apples-in-Pajamas with your favorite beverage!
