Ingredients:
For the Pancake:
- 2 medium apples, diced
- 30 grams (2 tbsp) brown sugar
- 250 grams (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 15 grams (1 tbsp) baking powder
- 9 grams (3 tsp) ground cinnamon
- 355 ml (1 1/2 cups) buttermilk
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil
For the Crumble:
- 30 grams (1/4 cup) all-purpose flour (heat-treated in oven at 175°C/350°F for 5 min)
- 25 grams (1/8 cup) brown sugar
- 28 grams (2 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
For the Maple Drizzle:
- 60 grams (1/2 cup) powdered sugar
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) heavy cream
For the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Drizzle:
- 50 grams (1/4 cup) brown sugar
- 4 grams (2 tsp) ground cinnamon
- 28 grams (2 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
- Toss the diced apples with brown sugar in a bowl and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir in the buttermilk, maple syrup, and vegetable oil until just combined. Gently fold in the sugared apples.
- Heat a tablespoon of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Scoop 120 ml (1/2 cup) of pancake batter into the pan. Cook each pancake for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Continue until all the batter is used, making about 7 pancakes.
- For the crumble, mix the heat-treated flour with brown sugar and softened butter using a fork until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this mixture over the cooked pancakes.
- Prepare the drizzles by mixing their respective ingredients in separate bowls until smooth.
- Serve the pancakes warm, adorned with a generous amount of crumble and artistically drizzled with the sweet maple and brown sugar cinnamon toppings.
