Apple ring pancakes were the breakfast treat that my mom made us on special occasions. We also had them when it was a really cold winter morning and she wanted to give us a little healthier boost in our breakfast. If there were leftovers, we were really lucky and had these as a snack.
Sometimes we had these apple pancakes on those nights when you have breakfast for dinner. Do your kids love breakfast for dinner as much as mine do? A couple of other breakfast (breakfast for dinner options) in my house include this BELT Sandwich (Bacon, Egg, Lettuce and Tomato), and this easy overnight oats recipe.

Why I Love these Apple Slice Pancakes
I love the taste and texture the apple rings add to this dish. Just a little crunch from the apples. I add a little cinnamon (or sometimes cinnamon sugar) sprinkle for extra flavor. Hot apples and cinnamon. A perfect combination! Add some maple syrup and it becomes heavenly!
This is simple and quick to make, especially if you use Bisquick or another pancake mix. By all means, make your pancake mix from scratch if you prefer.
Ingredients
When I'm in a hurry to make these, I use Bisquik to speed this recipe along.
You can make these with your favorite pancake recipe too. Today, I'm sharing how I make these with Bisquick-based pancakes.
1 Large apple - I like Honeycrisp or a Fuji apple. Baking apples are perfect for this recipe, but honestly, I use what I have at home.
1 cup Bisquick - If I'm not making pancakes from scratch, these turn out great!
½ cup milk - I use 2%, but only because that's what is in my fridge. You can use whatever kind you have in your home.
1 Large egg
1 teaspoon oil for the batter, and extra for the pan. I use regular vegetable oil. Melted butter also works well.
Cinnamon to sprinkle on top (optional).
Maple Syrup of Pancake syrup is great on top.

Instructions
Use your favorite pancake mix or if making a quick breakfast, use Bisquick like I show you in this recipe.
Step 1
Mix your Bisquick, egg, milk and oil for your pancake batter.
Step 2
Peel and slice your apples. Cut the core out or use a biscuit cutter for the center.
Step 3
Heat frying pan at medium with a thin layer of vegetable oil coating the bottom.
Step 4
Dip apple slices into pancake batter, and place onto oiled frying pan. Once all pancake covered slices are in the pan, I turn the heat down to medium low. When you see pancake batter is bubbly around the outside, flip each ring.
Remove from heat when second side is golden brown.
Step 5
Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon or cinnamon sugar and some maple syrop.
FAQs
Yes, you can. However you make your pancake batter will work with this recipe.
It's your choice. However, I find most people enjoy this recipe with peeled apple slices.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
These apple rings with pancake batter can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. I have also individually frozen these on a cookie sheeet, then placed in an air tight bag or container.
To heat these up, allow to warm to room temperature than fry for a couple of minutes each side in a frying pan. Don't forget your cinnamon and maple syrup topping!

- 1 cup bisquick
- ½ cup milk
- 1 large egg

- Dip the apple rings in the batter and place in the medium hot pan that has a thin layer of oil.
- Watch for the big bubbles on the edge and then they are ready to flip.
