Instructions:
- Prepare the batter
- Mix the pancake batter according to package instructions.
- Do not overmix; a slightly lumpy batter helps it stay thick and cling to the apples.
- If the batter feels thin, let it rest briefly to thicken.
- Slice and prep the apples
- Slice the apple into ¼-inch thick rounds.
- Remove the core from each slice using a small cookie cutter or knife.
- Pat the apple slices dry with a paper towel.
- Removing excess moisture helps the batter adhere evenly.
- Dip and cook
- Heat a greased pan over medium heat.
- Dip each apple slice into the batter, coating both sides.
- Let excess batter drip off before placing it in the pan.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the cinnamon sugar
- In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar.
- Coat and serve
- While warm, toss the apple pancake dippers in the cinnamon sugar.
- Serve immediately with warm syrup for dipping.
