Ingredients

1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon fine salt

2 large eggs

1 cup milk

2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed

1 apple

1/4 cup jarred caramel sauce or dulce de leche, plus more for serving

Greek yogurt, whipped cream or ice cream, for serving

Directions

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. 2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium nonstick or cast-iron skillet. Whisk into the egg mixture and reserve the skillet for cooking the pancakes. Whisk the dry ingredients into the liquid mixture until it forms a thick, lumpy batter.
  3. 3. Core and grate the apple on the large holes of a box grater into a small bowl. Toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Add the caramel sauce and stir until the flour is absorbed. Stir into the batter until just combined.
  4. 4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Drop 2 tablespoons batter per pancake into the hot skillet. Cook until the surface of the pancakes form bubbles and the edges are set, about 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and continue to cook until puffed in the center, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm while making the rest of the pancakes. Continue to make the pancakes, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter as needed, until all the batter is gone.
  5. 5. Serve the pancakes with a dollop of yogurt, whipped cream, or, for dessert, a scoop of ice cream. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce.
