Tips for Great Apple Pancakes
Great British Apple Pancakes
Braeburn, Bramley or Royal Gala apples are fantastic in these healthy pancakes. We found that Granny Smiths were a bit too firm and tart for these cinnamon apple pancakes. We used our apple corer/peeler/slicer and then diced the apple before adding it to the cinnamon spiced pancake batter.

Maple Syrup
The pictures show a moderate amount of maple syrup with these pancakes. That is simply because we didn’t want to embarrass ourselves. We used Buckwud Canadian Maple Syrup for these pancakes but we keep a stock of Waitrose 1 Canadian maple syrup – amber No. 2 in the cupboard, too. It is a personal preference of how dark you like your syrup.

Inspiration
Helen’s inspiration: “I love the taste of gingerbread and anything with apples in it. I decided to combine them both for a flavorful and hearty pancake.”
Although inspired by Helen’s recipe, we have created a dish that is perfect for you to cook at home in the UK. These may be American apple pancakes but they are all British.
