If you want a deliciously indulgent pancake that screams fall, look no further than this decadent Southern recipe for Caramel Apple Pecan Pancakes. Made with Gala apples, a homemade pancake batter, and creamy caramel sauce, this recipe hits all the right notes, and its husband and family approved.
It’s a beautiful day this morning in Central Florida. The sky is a mass of blue and cotton puff clouds, a perfect morning for coffee and my favorite pancakes on the back patio. The type of pancakes that make you smile and think of Caramel Apples from a local festival. Honestly, they are a sin to eat. They’re so dangerously delicious, combining thick, creamy caramel, crisp apples, and tasty Georgia pecans with homemade apple pancakes. Mmm, It’s going to be a lovely and delightful morning!
The back patio is the place I go when I want to think and be one with nature; it’s gorgeous out there, with nothing but old trees, plants, and grassy land. That’s one thing I don’t miss about South Florida. I enjoy my peace and tranquility these days. Alone time has become a necessity in my life, and it feels good to let my worries run off my shoulders this breezy morning, enjoying my favorite breakfast treat. I love making these sinful pancakes in the mornings. I want something special. It’s my way of making it a particular morning to savor and enjoy.
