Notes
Recipe Tips
- If you need to dice up your apple ahead of time, toss it with a little bit of lemon juice to keep it from browning. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- The top of the pancakes will start to make small bubbles once they are ready to be flipped over. Another way to check if they are ready to be flipped is to lift the edge of the pancakes with the spatula. If the bottoms of the pancakes are slightly brown, flip them over.
- To keep all pancakes warm and fluffy while cooking a large batch, place cooked pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with paper towels in the oven heated to a very low temperature - around 200°F. Just warm enough to keep the pancakes warm and prevent them from getting soggy, but not enough to keep cooking them.
