Ingredients
  

For the Pancake Batter:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Apple Filling:

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1 tablespoon butter

For Serving:

Maple syrup or caramel sauce

Whipped cream (optional)

Additional cinnamon for dusting

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and nutmeg (if using). Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized. Set aside to cool.

    Make the Pancake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined (some lumps are okay).

      Cook the Pancakes: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

        Assemble the Roll-Ups: Take one pancake and place a spoonful of the apple filling in the center. Gently roll up the pancake tightly around the filling. Repeat with all pancakes and filling.

          Serve: Drizzle maple syrup or caramel sauce over the apple pie pancake roll-ups, and garnish with whipped cream and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
