Hey there, foodie friends! _sips coffee_ Let me tell you about this absolutely divine breakfast dessert that’s been making my mornings feel like I’m living in a fancy hotel. Trust me, once you try these Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, your regular breakfast will never be the same!
So picture this: fluffy, cloud-like pancakes swirled with warm cinnamon sugar, drizzled with homemade caramel sauce, and topped with tender, spiced apple pieces. I mean, who says dessert can’t be breakfast? Not this girl! 👩🍳
What you’ll need (because I know you’re already drooling):
– 2 cups all-purpose flour (the good stuff!)
– 2 tablespoons baking powder
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 cups milk
– 2 eggs
– 4 tablespoons melted butter
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the cinnamon swirl (the magic happens here):
– 4 tablespoons butter, melted
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 teaspoons cinnamon
For the apple topping:
– 2 apples, diced
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
– Pinch of nutmeg (because we’re fancy like that!)
Let’s get cooking, bestie! First, mix all your dry pancake ingredients in one bowl, and the wet ingredients in another. Combine them, but don’t overmix – we’re making pancakes, not bread! A few lumps are totally fine, trust me on this one.
For the cinnamon swirl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a squeeze bottle. This is where the magic happens, ladies and gentlemen!

Now, here’s where it gets fun: Pour your pancake batter onto a heated griddle, then immediately squeeze the cinnamon mixture in a spiral pattern. When bubbles form, flip that baby over and watch the masterpiece unfold!
For the apple topping, sauté the diced apples with butter, brown sugar, and spices until they’re tender and caramelized. It’s like apple pie, but better (don’t @ me, pie lovers).
Stack these beauties high, top with the warm apple mixture, and drizzle with maple syrup or caramel sauce. Or both – I won’t judge! Sometimes I add a dollop of whipped cream because, hello, we’re living our best lives here!
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve made these for brunch with my girlfriends, and every single time, they beg for the recipe. Now it’s your turn to be the brunch MVP!
