Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup diced apples
- Oil for frying
- Cinnamon-sugar mixture for coating
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
- Fold in the diced apples.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add enough oil to coat the surface.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread it slightly using the back of the scoop.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pancake from the skillet and immediately coat it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
- Serve the apple fritter buttermilk pancakes warm with maple syrup and whipped cream.
