Cinnamon apples are simply my jam, but I especially love them during the Fall when apples are in season. And what better way to enjoy warm, cooked apples than on top of fluffy Apple Cinnamon Pancakes! This easy apple pancake recipe is infused with lots of warm and cozy flavors and simply a treat to enjoy. Sure, you can make regular pancakes this weekend, but why not take them up a notch with these extra fluffy, apple cinnamon pancakes!
These apple cinnamon pancakes are seriously next level and the cooked apple topping really makes them extra special. Here’s everything that you’ll need:
I love using buttermilk when I make pancakes to help make them extra fluffy. But sometimes buttermilk can be expensive, especially if you don’t plan on using it all up before it goes bad. So here are two cheaper options to consider:
Did you know you can freeze buttermilk? If you buy buttermilk from the store, instead of letting the rest go bad in the fridge, try freezing leftover buttermilk to use for later!
These apple cinnamon pancakes can easily be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoyed for up to 4 days. You can store the pancakes and the cooked apple topping separately if you want, but I often store mine together. The apples hold their texture very well. Reheat in the microwave until warmed through or pop the pancakes in the toaster to reheat separately from the apple topping.
See how we calculate recipe costs here.
Peel, remove the core, and dice 2 large apples.
Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a small pot over medium heat. Add the diced apples, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 2 Tbsp brown sugar and 2 Tbsp water to the pot. Stir together and allow the apples to come up to a simmer.
Cook the apples for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender. Remove the pot from the heat and cover with a lid to keep warm.
While the apples are cooking, start on the pancakes. In a large bowl whisk together 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 3 Tbsp granulated sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 1 beaten egg, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the same bowl as the dry ingredients.
Stir together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix at this point. The batter will be a little thick.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot add ½ Tbsp of butter and swirl around to coat the surface. Add about ¼ cup pancake batter to the hot skillet. I like to cook two pancakes at a time.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles form over the surface and begin to pop. The edges and bottom of the pancakes will also start to become golden brown (about 60-90 seconds). Now flip the pancakes and cook on the second side until golden brown (about 30-60 seconds).
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet between batches or as needed, until all of the pancakes have been cooked. Keep the pancakes warm on a plate under a towel or on a baking sheet in a warm oven until all of the pancakes have been cooked.
Now serve the pancakes with several spoonfuls of cooked cinnamon apples on top and a drizzle of warm maple syrup. Enjoy these warm, apple cinnamon pancakes with some crispy air fryer bacon on the side. So good!!😋

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor or mixer combine the flours, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and baking soda.
Step 2: Add cubed and chilled butter to the mix and pulse/mix until it resembles coarse meal.
Step 3: Add honey and water and continue to mix until it all combines.
Step 4: Remove and shape the dough into a flat disk and place between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll dough out until 1/4 inch thick.
Step 5: Cut dough into square crackers or fun shapes using cookie cutters.
Step 6: Place cookies on a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Cool and serve.
For the best homemade graham crackers, keep these tips and tricks in mind:
Storage Tip
Store the cooled graham crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They can also be frozen (pre-baked or baked) for up to 4 months.
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. Just let it come to room temperature for a few minutes before rolling it out. Alternatively, you can freeze the dough for up to a month and thaw it in the refrigerator before using.
Leftover graham crackers are incredibly versatile! Crumble them up and use them in Pumpkin Pie Parfaits, use them as a topping for yogurt or ice cream, or enjoy them with a spread of nut butter or homemade homemade strawberry preserves.
If your graham crackers are not crispy, they may need a bit more baking time. You can also try rolling the dough slightly thinner next time for a crisper result. Remember to let them cool completely, as they will firm up as they cool.
Absolutely! You can add different spices like ginger, nutmeg, or even a bit of cocoa powder to make Chocolate Graham Crackers. Or experiment with almond or vanilla extract for different flavors.
If you’ve never made your own graham crackers, you’ve got to try! Especially if you have little one. Graham crackers are like a total cookie rite of passage for kids. Let me know what you think of this recipe by leaving a comment and rating below!

Overnight Oats are the ultimate introduction to budget-friendly meal prep! With the busy lives we all lead, it’s hard to fit in time for breakfast before rushing out the door, but this no-cook recipe is the magical solution, trust me! My overnight oats base recipe is absolutely delicious as-is but is also the perfect vessel for your favorite toppings. And don’t worry if you’re not feeling particularly creative; I’ve shared 3 of my favorite flavor variations below.
I must confess: I almost always skip breakfast if I don’t plan ahead! Then, noon rolls around, and I am hangry. It’s not a good look—just ask my husband! That’s why having this overnight oatmeal in the fridge at all times is a MUST. Oats are full of fiber, which keeps me full until lunchtime, and I love the blank canvas to turn them into a unique treat, depending on my craving that day.
Think of overnight oats as the cooler, more convenient cousin of traditional oatmeal. Instead of cooking the oats on a stovetop or in a microwave, they soak overnight in liquid (usually milk) and soften to the perfect texture without heat. I also add brown sugar, chia seeds, and cinnamon to my base recipe to create a delicious, well-rounded breakfast. Mix it all in a mason jar and let it sit in the fridge overnight for a grab-and-go breakfast in the morning!
Here’s what you’ll need to make my easy overnight oats recipe:
Oats are a great source of fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals! They’ll keep you full and satisfied for longer, making them a great breakfast option. Adding milk, chia seeds, fresh fruit, and nuts only adds to their nutritional value. You can leave out the brown sugar if you want to reduce the added sugar, but overall, overnight oats with chia seeds can definitely be considered a healthy choice!
These oats can last in the fridge for 4-5 days, making them great for meal-prepping. I prefer enjoying them within 12 hours for the best texture, but they’ll still taste good after a few days—maybe just a bit softer. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh, and don’t add any toppings until you’re ready to eat them.
I am super picky when it comes to my oatmeal: 1. I want a lot of varied textures, 2. I want it to be nutrient-dense and have healthy components, and 3. It has to come together FAST! These flavor variations check everything off my list:
Your childhood favorite gets an upgrade with my peanut butter and jelly overnight oat recipe. I layer blueberry jam with crunchy peanut butter AND peanuts for extra crunch. Add a few fresh blueberries and you’re good to go!
Will chocolate and fresh berries ever not be a match made in heaven? I don’t think so. You only need some raspberry jam, dark chocolate chips, and fresh raspberries to make a breakfast that tastes just like dessert.
Banana bread is my go-to coffee shop snack, so I always have an overnight oat version in the fridge. Simply mix in some walnuts and add sliced bananas on top for a delicious and satisfying breakfast that’ll keep you feeling full all morning!
See how we calculate recipe costs here.
Combine ½ cup old fashioned oats, 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar, ⅛ tsp cinnamon, ½ Tbsp chia seeds, and a pinch of salt in an 8 oz. Mason Jar.
Pour in ½ cup milk.
Stir or shake to combine, making sure all ingredients are mixed in evenly to avoid clumps of chia or brown sugar.
Put the lid onto your mason jar and place it in the fridge.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes or up to 12 hours before enjoying.
Never skip breakfast again with this easy and satisfying recipe for overnight oats!
