Description
These Apple Pie Pancake Rolls combine fluffy pancakes with a warm cinnamon-apple filling for a comforting breakfast that tastes just like apple pie. The tender apple mixture spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg is wrapped inside soft pancakes and dusted with powdered sugar for a sweet and satisfying morning treat.
Ingredients
Pancake Batter
- 2 cups pancake batter (prepared)
Apple Filling
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
For Serving
- Powdered sugar, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Apple Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, combine the diced apples, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and the mixture is fragrant, about 8-10 minutes.
- Prepare the Pancakes: Make thin pancakes using the prepared batter according to your recipe or package instructions. Allow the pancakes to cool slightly so they are easier to handle.
- Assemble the Rolls: Spoon an even amount of the warm apple filling onto each pancake. Roll the pancakes tightly around the filling and place them seam-side down on a serving plate to keep them from unrolling.
- Serve: Dust the pancake rolls with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm. Optionally, drizzle with maple syrup or caramel sauce for extra sweetness.
Notes
- Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples work particularly well for this recipe as they hold their shape and offer a nice balance of tartness and sweetness.
- For added indulgence, serve the rolls with maple syrup or caramel sauce.
