Slice the Apples Start by slicing your apples into rings, removing the core with an apple corer or knife. Choose firm apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for a perfect texture.
Dip in Pancake Batter Prepare your pancake batter as usual, then dip each apple ring into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. You can add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla to the batter for extra flavor.
Cook the Apple Rings Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Place the dipped apple rings on the hot surface and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy
Add a Topping Once cooked, stack the apple rings on a plate and top them with your favorite pancake toppings, such as maple syrup, Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of cinnamon and nuts.
Incorporate Nut Butter For added nutrition, spread almond or peanut butter between the layers of apple rings for a creamy texture and a boost of protein and healthy fats.
Serve with Fresh Fruit For a balanced meal, serve the apple pancake rings with fresh fruit like berries or banana slices. This adds extra vitamins and antioxidants to your breakfast.

Enjoy Warm Serve your apple rings warm for the best flavor and texture. The juicy, tender apple contrasts perfectly with the crisp pancake batter for a satisfying and nutritious start to your day.
