Pancakes

Salted Caramel Apples

Method

Pancakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, sugar, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix Batter

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Cook Pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Stack pancakes on a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.

Salted Caramel Apples

  1. 6

    Prepare the Apples

    Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Insert a wooden stick into the center of each apple, ensuring it goes about halfway through.

  2. 7

    Make Caramel Sauce

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and cook until it melts and turns a golden amber color, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even melting.

  3. 8

    Add Cream and Butter

    Once the sugar is melted, carefully add heavy cream and butter, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in sea salt.

  4. 9

    Coat Apples

    Dip each apple into the caramel, allowing excess to drip off. Place the caramel-coated apples on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool.

Espresso Whipped Cream

  1. 10

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream, brewed espresso, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.

  2. 11

    Beat Until Stiff Peaks Form

    Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 12

    Serve

    Spoon the whipped cream over the pancakes or serve on the side for dipping with caramel apples.
