Apple Pie Pancakes with Maple Walnuts

1. 1

   In a large measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, apple pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.

3. 3

   Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until fully incorporated (a few small lumps are fine).

4. 4

   Stir in the apple.

5. 5

   Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.

6. 6

   Check the heat by sprinkling the skillet with water when the water bubbles and evaporates immediately, pour 3 scant 1/4 cups of batter into the skillet.

7. 7

   Cook the pancakes until bubbles begin to appear around the edges and in the center, about 1 to 2 minutes.

8. 8

   Using a spatula, peek under the pancakes to check if they are golden brown, then carefully flip them.

9. 9

   Cook the pancakes 1 minute more, peeking to make sure the underside is golden brown.

10. 10

    Transfer them to a baking sheet and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

11. 11

    Repeat with remaining batter (if your pancakes stick, wipe the skillet with 1 teaspoon canola oil before cooking the next batch).

12. 12

    Simmer the maple syrup and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

13. 13

    Stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated; simmer for 1 minute.

14. 14

    Stir in the walnuts and serve with the pancakes.
