Toffee apple pancakes

March 3, 2014 by Katie Bryson

Toffee Apple Pancakes on feedingboys.co.uk

It’s Shrove Tuesday this week, so I thought it was only right to come up with a tasty pancake filling idea for you to try.

I’ve kept it super simple so there’s limited faffing about – cooking pancakes is a labour of love enough without lots of fancy fillings to prepare. I’ve used dark brown soft sugar with chopped apple and cinnamon and cooked it gently in a pan until the fruit is soft and swimming in a dark and syrupy toffee sauce.

All that’s left to do is spoon it over your pancakes and top with a healthy dollop of thick Greek yoghurt. Lush.

Toffee Apple Pancake Filling
Serves 2

2 apples (I used Braeburn)
1 heaped tbsp dark brown soft sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

1. Peel, core and slice the apple and place it in a small saucepan with the sugar and cinnamon and a splash of cold water and cover with a lid.

2. Heat gently, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is soft in a lovely sticky toffee sauce. Remove from heat and pop into a bowl ready to be spooned over delicious warm pancakes.

American-style or crepe-style?

I’m a fan of both. The in-laws flew in from America at the weekend, and with them they bought my favourite Aunt Jemima’s Pancake and Waffle mix. They make super fluffy American-style pancakes which we all adore. You can of course avoid the packet and make them absolutely from scratch by following this recipe.

Or if you need a standard crepe-style pancake recipe, hop over to my pancake page from last year.

More inspiration

I’ve had a little look around some of my favourite blogs for further pancake bliss to get you in the mood…

    Looks like many of us have been posting pancakes this weekend! I went savoury this time, though, as I always mean to make savoury ones but never get around to it!

      Hi Kavey – I’m the same, I never get around to doing savoury ones but promised the boys we could have a pancake main course and pudding!!!

    I must admit I have never made a savoury pancake recipe before, usually enjoy the savoury ones when in France! I am much more of a sweet pancake girl and toffee apples are certainly on my wavelength as a topping. Thanks for mentioning my pancakes here too :)x

    Looking scrummy Katie! I have no pancake post and I doubt we’ll even be eating them tomorrow but pancakes aren’t just for pancake day right?

    […] sunshiney day gets us all in a good mood, but there’s nothing like an indulgent breakfast of pancakes to get everyone smiling in this house, but they are definitely a weekend treat as I don’t […]

Beautiful little book the audience were all given Beautiful little book the audience were all given at last night’s performance of #Here from @curious.monkey_ at @northern_stage. Such a powerful performance from the talented cast bringing together individual stories of what it means to seek sanctuary in the North East, the friendships that are forged and the spark of hope that refuses to be snuffed out. With the plight of refugees so visible right now,  the timing of this performance was impeccable. #RefugeesWelcome #togetherwithrefugees🧡 #StoryCollectors
