Ingredients

For Caramelized Apples:

  • 4 large Pink Lady apples or similar, peeled and sliced
  • 6 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1/3 c. brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

For Bacon Pancakes:

  • 2 c. flour
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 c. buttermilk or sour milk
  • 3 tbsp. unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1 large egg
  • 10 slices bacon fried and crumbled
  • maple syrup

Instructions

For apples:

  • Combine apples, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  • Bring the apples to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  • Cook for about 10 minutes, or until apples are soft, but not soggy.

For pancakes:

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and egg.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir together until just combined. Do not overmix. Lumpy batter is okay.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add oil or butter in a very thin layer.
  • Drop pancakes by 1/4-1/3 c. batter and cook until edges are set and bubbles appear on the surface, 2-3 minutes.
  • Flip pancakes and cook until golden brown on both sides.
  • Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Serve immediately with the caramelized apples and maple syrup.
