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

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
  3. 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.
  4. Fold in the diced apples.
  5. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add enough oil to coat the surface.
  6. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread it slightly using the back of the scoop.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Remove the pancake from the skillet and immediately coat it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  10. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
  11. Serve the apple fritter buttermilk pancakes warm with maple syrup and whipped cream.
