These Cinnamon Pancakes with Stewed Apples and Caramel Sauce are the perfect twist on classic American pancakes which are perfect for a special occasion. Get the recipe below.

Celebration breakfasts

Pancakes are for life, not just for Shrove Tuesday.

Until two or three years ago I was a strong believer in the idea that pancakes should only be eaten on Pancake Day. For some silly reason I thought it made them extra special – a real treat. But I am so glad I changed my mind because who doesn’t love eating pancakes all year round!

These Cinnamon and Apple Pancakes with Caramel Sauce are oh so indulgent which makes them perfect for a special breakfast for Christmas morning but are also fantastic for celebrations the rest of the year.

The key to these Cinnamon and Apple Pancakes with Caramel Sauce butter, sugar, cream and lots of other indulgent ingredients. The apple is of course one of your five a day...until you stew it in the butter. But they’re so light and fluffy with a sweet, sticky sauce and sharp, sour apples.

How to make Cinnamon Pancakes

To make the pancakes it's as easy as whisking together the pancake ingredients until a smooth, light and fluffy batter has formed.

This batter is then carefully poured onto the surface of a non-stick frying pan with a ladle.

The pancakes will puff up and air bubbles will form on the top side of the pancake. At this point they should be flipped and cooked for another few minutes.

Repeat until all of the batter has been used up.

How to make Stewed Apples

These pancakes are topped with delicious, tart stewed apples.

Simply peel and core the apples and cut them into pieces roughly 1cm in size.

Next melt the butter and sugar in the pan and add the apples.

Cook until the apples are tender.

How to make Caramel Sauce

To make the caramel sauce add sugar and water to a heavy bottomed sauce pan. When this has been dissolved turn up the heat and bring it to a boil. This should cause the sugar syrup to go thick and gold in colour.

Once this happens, take off the heat and pour in the cream. Use a swirling action until a smooth, silky sauce has formed.

Bring these three components together for a breakfast fit for an celebration.

Ingredients
 
 

For the pancakes

  • 275 grams self raising flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 275 millilitres milk
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoon butter melted
  • 4 tablespoon caster sugar

For the sauce

  • 125 grams caster sugar

For the apple topping

  • 1 large cooking apple
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon caster sugar

Instructions
 

To make the sauce

  • Begin by making the caramel sauce so that it has time to cool slightly before serving.
  • Heat the sugar and water slowly in a heavy bottomed pan. 
  • Once the sugar has dissolved boil the sugar water rapidly until it goes thick and golden. 
  • Immediately take off of the heat and pour in the cream, then swirl until the cream and sugar have mixed together forming a silky smooth sauce. 
  • Transfer to a jug and allow to cool whilst the pancakes cook.

To make the pancakes

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, sugar, cinnamon and flour until a smooth, thick batter has formed.
  • Heat a small non-stick frying pan before pouring a large ladle of the batter into the pan. 
  • Cook the pancake on a high heat until you can see bubbles forming on the top side of the pancake. 
  • Give the pan a good shake to release the underside of the pancake and flip. 
  • Cook for another 2-3 mins before transferring to a warmed plate. 
  • Cook each pancake in this way and keep them warm until you are ready to serve.

To make the apple topping

  • Before serving the pancakes, peel and core the apple then dice into pieces roughly 1cm cubed. 
  • Melt the butter in the pan with the sugar and stew the apples until they are hot and tender. 
  • Serve over the pancakes with the cooled caramel sauce and sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
