Directions
Step
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Step
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Step
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Step
Pour 1/4 cup portions of the pancake batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step
Stack the cinnamon swirl pancakes on a plate.
Step
Top each pancake with a generous spoonful of caramelized apples.
Step
Finish with a dollop of whipped cream.
