One of our favorite weekend meals is pancakes. When we were in Vermont this summer I bought a cider donut pancake mix. I made them the first weekend we were home. We were sorely disappointed so I set on a quest to make apple cider pancakes.
After a couple of tries, success! My boys deemed these the best pancakes ever and they didn’t even have chocolate chips in them! While Dad’s blueberry pancakes are a classic, these are the new favorite. Especially if topped with warm apple topping.
While you can make pancakes in a skillet, I prefer to make them on a griddle. They are so much easier to flip. One of our sponsors this week, Swiss Diamond, sent me a double burner griddle and it’s my new favorite. The pancakes browned beautifully and the pan heated evenly. It is now my “go-to” griddle, not only for pancakes but quesadillas and grilled cheese sandwiches. I still love my cast iron double burner griddle but this Swiss Diamond has made me want to donate my All-Clad. It’s lighter weight and fits the double burner on my cooktop better. The clean-up is a breeze! Even melted cheese from a grilled cheese cleans up nicely. Swiss Diamond is offering an amazing prize in the giveaway so be sure to enter!

I love apple season so much!! Here in North Carolina we are so spoiled by local apples and apple cider this time of year. These pancakes look delicious.
Yowsers I had to use google to work this out, cider in Europe is an alcoholic drink, imagine my joy at the thought of cider pancakes for breakfast lol 😀 Nevertheless these still sound delicious!
These pancakes look so delicious and perfect for weekend brunch!

Apple cider pancakes sound so amazing!!! I love pancakes and I LOVE apple cider. I am going to have to try this for sure!!!
I’ll bet your kids loved these! Lots of sweet apple flavour!
Pancakes are a weeknight family fave at our house too! I would love to try these in place of my regular pancake recipe to change things up a bit.
Little Dude loves it when I make him pancakes on the weekend. We are going to have to make these next time!
My favorite is apple crumb cake. I like it best when it is warmed up, but if it is hot outside, room temperature is just as good.
Yum! Apple Cider Pancakes sound perfect for a fall breakfast, brunch or brinner. Happy Apple Week!
These would make the perfect breakfast for a chilly fall morning.
