Autumn Pancakes With Caramelized Walnuts Recipes

CARAMEL APPLE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine diced apples and water in a microwave-safe dish for the sauce. Cover and microwave on high power for 3 minutes. Stir, replace cover, and microwave on high until apples are fork-tender, about 2 more minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Combine brown sugar, cream, butter, and salt in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes. Mixture should be bubbly all over the surface. Mix in vanilla extract and cook, stirring, for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cooked, drained apples.
• Preheat an electric griddle to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly grease.
• Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
• Combine eggs and milk in a separate container, stirring briskly until eggs are well incorporated. Drizzle in melted butter while stirring. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until most of the lumps are gone.
• Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to pour batter in batches onto the preheated griddle, forming 6-inch pancakes.
• Cook until bubbles form on top of the pancakes and the surface begins to look a little dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Brown to desired doneness on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes. Keep first batch warm in a 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) oven, while the remaining pancakes cook.
• Serve a stack of 3 pancakes with caramelized apple sauce, and garnish with chopped, toasted walnuts.

APPLE CIDER PANCAKES

Steps:

• Place pancake mix into a medium bowl, and stir in apple cider. Apple cider may be adjusted to achieve the desired thickness. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar and vanilla. Mix in walnuts if using.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and spray with cooking spray. Use about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook 3 to 4 pancakes at a time. Turn over when bubbles appear in the center, and cook until golden on the other side. Serve immediately with pats of butter and maple syrup.
