Two fall favorites come together in our Pumpkin Pancakes recipe for a dish full of cozy, autumn flavor. Who can resist pumpkins and apples when the leaves turn brown and orange? These warm, fluffy pancakes are like a pumpkin spice latte in breakfast form. This recipe gets an added flare when topped with a homemade apple compote. Easy to make, even easier to eat.
What is Apple Compote?
Apple compote is a delicious and versatile dessert that is made from cooked apples. It’s almost like a syrup with fresh apple chunks inside. It can be served warm or cold and is often spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves. Compote is a great way to use up apples that are past their prime, and can be used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt, filling for pies and tart, or, in this case, added on top of pancakes!
