Some mornings just beg for a cozy breakfast, don’t they? I had one of those days not long ago—fog outside, socks on inside, coffee brewing—and all I could think about was something warm, sweet, and a little indulgent. These apple cinnamon pancakes stepped in and saved the day. They’re a soft stack of everything that makes fall mornings feel like a hug. The apples add a gentle crunch, while cinnamon gives it that spicy-sweet kick we secretly crave year-round (don’t tell pumpkin spice). Whether you're someone who wakes up early or someone who stumbles to the kitchen half asleep, this recipe works. You’ll have a hot plate in under 30 minutes. It’s one of my go-to quick breakfast ideas when I want something beyond toast but don’t feel like prepping a full brunch. The kids love it. I love it. Even the dog hangs around hoping for crumbs. Let’s just say it’s made a few Mondays better.
