Apples and cheddar cheese is a fabulous flavour combination, especially in these sweet and savoury apple and cheddar pancakes! It’s always fun to add flavours to pancakes and these start out with a really easy pancake recipe to which shredded apple and huge chunks of cheddar cheese are added. (I usually can’t resist adding crispy fried bacon to the batter as well, but that is completely optional) When the pancakes cook the diced cheddar cheese melts creating pockets of melted cheese that just burst into your mouth when you bit into them! I like to serve these apple and cheddar pancakes topped with with maple syrup or some homemade apple cider syrup for even more apple flavour! These pancakes are so quick and easy to make that you could make them on a busy work day morning for breakfast and they are absolutely perfect for a special weekend breakfast (say for Thanksgiving) or brunch and I even like to make them for dinner, because breakfast for dinner is fun!
Just look at all of the cheese in these pancakes!
