Pancakes with Homemade Apple Compote

Pancakes with Homemade Apple Compote

These Pancakes with Homemade Apple Compote are the ultimate cozy breakfast for a slow weekend. The pancakes are big and fluffy and make for the ultimate stack, but add on some sweet cinnamon apples? That's a winner in my books. There's something so comforting about cinnamon with breakfast foods and these are no exception.

Ingredients

For the Apple Compote

  • 2-3 (2-3) Large Apples Any Variety - Granny Smith/Honeycrisp are great
  • 4 tbsp (4 tbsp) Unsalted Butter
  • 100 g (½ cup) Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 2 tsp (tsp) Ground Cinnamon

For the Pancakes

  • 140 g (1 cups) All Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp (2 tsp) Baking Powder
  • 3 tbsp (3 tbsp) Granulated Sugar
  • 130 ml (½ cups) Milk
  • 2 (2) Large Eggs
  • 2 tbsp (2 tbsp) Unsalted Butter Melted

Instructions

For the Apple Compote

  • Peel and dice the apples into about 1/4 inch pieces. It doesn't need to be too neat! Place in a saucepan with the butter, sugar and cinnamon.
  • Cook over a low-medium heat for 15-20 minutes. Stir regularly. If the apple mixture starts to catch on the pan, add a little more butter or some water. Keep cooking until the apples are soft and golden. Turn to the lowest heat to keep warm while you make the pancakes.

For the Pancakes

  • Add the flour, baking powder and sugar to a large bowl and stir to combine. Make a well in the centre and add the milk, eggs and melted butter. Whisk until just combined – it should still be a little lumpy.
  • Place a frying pan over a low to medium heat. Brush with melted butter or oil. Scoop about a 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan.
  • Fry for about 1-2 minutes – flipping when the air bubbles on the surface of the batter begin to pop. Fry for another minute, then remove and repeat for all remaining batter.
  • Keep the pancakes warm in the oven if making a large batch - place on a plate and keep in the oven at around 150℉.
  • Serve the pancakes with the warm apple compote, maple syrup and powdered sugar.

Notes

  1. To keep the pancakes warm while making a larger batch, heat the oven to about 150F. Place a heatproof plate or baking dish in the oven and add the pancakes once cooked. They'll retain their heat ready for when you serve.
