Ingredients:

1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
2 apples
320g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 tsp ground nutmeg
5g
1 tsp salt
5g
1 tsp lemon juice
5g
2 tbsp butter
30g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
2 cups buttermilk
460g
2 eggs
100g
1 tbsp canola oil
16g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Apples:
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Add the diced apples and lemon juice; stir to coat the apples evenly with the spiced mixture.
2. Caramelize:
- Cook the apples, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the sugar mixture has thickened to a caramel-like consistency, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and canola oil until well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
5. Cook the Pancakes:
- Preheat a non-stick griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about another 1-2 minutes.
6. Serve:
- Stack the pancakes on a serving plate and top with the spiced caramelized apples. Optionally, drizzle with more maple syrup or add a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

- When cooking the apples, make sure to stir them frequently to avoid burning the sugar and spices.

- Let the pancake batter sit for a few minutes before cooking to allow the baking powder and soda to activate, resulting in fluffier pancakes.

- Use a non-stick skillet or a well-greased griddle to ensure easy flipping of the pancakes.

- Keep the pancakes warm in a preheated oven at low temperature (around 200°F / 93°C) while you finish cooking the rest of the batch.

- Top your pancakes with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

With this recipe for Fluffy Pancakes with Caramelised Apples, you can transform a simple breakfast into a delightful gourmet experience. The combination of warm spices and the sweetness of caramelised apples complements the hearty wholemeal pancakes perfectly.
