These delicious Apple Pancake Dippers make a really fun breakfast and are a great way to sneak a few extra portions of fruit in.
I am a big fan of eating seasonally and am always very happy when Autumn rolls around because of all the apple themed recipes that I can create. In these dippers the chunks of apple stay sharp and crisp but are encased in fluffy, golden pancake batter making this a really delicious breakfast. As the name suggests, the dippers are perfect to dip into maple syrup, however, once cooked they retain their shape quite well meaning you can simply remove the skewers, drizzle with maple syrup and eat with a knife and fork if preferred.
I typically get three skewers from one apple but the amount this yields will obviously depend on how large your chunks of apple are. You could chop it into large pieces and just make two skewers, however, you will have some pancake batter leftover.
This recipe is based on my 10 Minute Healthy American Style Pancakes which you can find here. I did have to tweak the amounts used to create a thicker batter so that it stuck to the apple pieces instead of dripping straight off. If desired you can pour the batter straight over the skewers, however, I did find that pouring the batter onto a plate and rolling the skewers in it had the best results. When frying, you may find that some pieces of apple do not touch the pan due to them being different sizes, if this is the case simply press down on them with a spatula or spoon to ensure the batter cooks.
I like these dippers made using red apple but you could try green instead. I do not remove the skin or core of the apple, only the stem and the pips, but you could just use the flesh if you preferred. You could also put a spiced twist on these by adding cinnamon and ginger to the batter to make these dippers a little more seasonal. If you like the sound of these but aren’t overly keen on apple, why not try using other fruit? I think raspberries, blueberries and maybe even pineapple could work well. If you like the sound of this recipe, you may also like my Raspberry Pancake Poppers which can be found here.
