Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, oats, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
- In another bowl, beat together the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and the melted 1/4 cup of butter until well combined.
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Preheat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side, another 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover to keep warm. Continue cooking the remaining batter.
- In a large skillet, melt the additional 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat.
- Add the additional 1/2 cup of brown sugar to the melted butter. Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is bubbly.
- Add the diced apples to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelised, about 10-15 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped pecans and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the pecans are toasted.
- Stack pancakes on plates and generously spoon the caramelised apple mixture over the top.

Pancakes with caramelised apple FAQ:
Cook each pancake for about 2-3 minutes on the first side until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Yes, you can use regular milk with a splash of lemon juice or vinegar to mimic buttermilk. For each cup of milk, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before using.
A medium-sized non-stick frying pan or griddle works well. Ideally, it should have enough space to cook multiple pancakes at once, about 10-12 inches in diameter.
Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them, separating each pancake with parchment paper for easy reheating.
Firmer apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji are great choices for caramelising, as they hold their shape well and provide a nice contrast to the sweetness of the sugar.
Cooking Tips:
- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start; this helps in achieving a smoother batter and consistent cooking.
- Use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet to avoid the pancakes sticking and to achieve an even, golden-brown color.
- Keep the heat moderate to avoid burning the pancakes. Slow and steady cooking ensures they are cooked through without becoming overly dark on the outside.
- For the caramelised apples, stir them continuously to prevent burning and to ensure they get evenly coated and cooked.
- You can toast the pecans lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the batter for an extra layer of flavor.
