1. Why This Viral Recipe Works & Macro Breakdown
I created these Apple Ring Pancakes as a fun twist on classic pancakes that’s perfect for kids and adults alike!
Growing up, my family would make pancakes on the weekends, and I always loved the smell of fresh batter wafting from the kitchen.
These pancakes are a healthier take on the classic recipe, with unsweetened applesauce and almond milk adding moisture and flavor without adding refined sugar.

Chef Sofia Rossi’s Test Kitchen Notes
For maximum crispiness and a golden-brown color, make sure the skillet or air fryer basket is hot before adding the batter.
Don't overcrowd the skillet or air fryer basket, cook in batches if necessary.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
