As a Krusteaz ambassador, I get to play with the line of delicious Krusteaz mixes and turn them into anything my heart desires and my tummy craves. Twisting a cookie, muffin or pancake mix into a new idea is so much fun. I love it!
My latest creation is Apple Cider Pancakes with Apple Crumble Topping, and if you’re looking for something to wow your guests, this is it. It’s every bit as delicious (if not more) as fancy restaurant pancakes, but the apple crumble topping gives it a homey, comforting flavor.
Sooooo good.
It’s easy to make too. Start with a box of Krusteaz Crisp Topping Mix, and prepare it as directed using apple pie filling.
It’s going to be awfully tempting to dig into that with a spoon when it comes out of the oven, but whoa now. It’s not time to eat yet!
Next, you need to make a stack of fluffy Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancakes using apple cider instead of water. Yummy, right?
Wait, it gets even better.
Grab a big spoonful of the apple crumble and put it right on top of the pancakes. If you like maple syrup and whipped topping, you can add that too. (I did!)
Now you can eat! The comforting flavor and taste of the hot crumble and pancakes will warm your insides and soothe your soul.
- 1 package Krusteaz Crisp Topping Mix, prepared as directed
- 1 can (21 ounce) apple pie filling
- 2 cups Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⅓ cups pasteurized apple cider (or apple juice)
- ½ teaspoon imitation butter flavor
- Optional:
- Maple syrup
- Whipped topping
You’re welcome.

This looks really good right now. I was going to try to avoid sugar today but pancakes sound like a plan!

Yum! I love apple crisp, and that’s what these pancakes remind me of. I bet the topping would be good on vanilla ice cream, too!
I have never been a pancake lover but the apple crumble may change my mind! That looks so good. I will try these this weekend for my son and I. He loves pancakes.
That looks amazing!! I bet it tastes just amazing with the apple crumbled topping.
This needs to be in our regular rotation. It looks delicious.
This looks totally amazing!
Holy hell. These look absolutely amazing. If it snows tomorrow. I’m making these!
I don’t know which one I want to try more the pancakes or the bacon. Everything looks so delicious mouthwatering

Oh gosh you got me drooling on your post! I could almost smell this from my screen… and those bacon!
This would be so much better than my plain pancakes! I am going to have to try this it looks so delicious!!
Another great pancake recipe for my wife to enjoy. She lives for pancakes.
I haven’t tried that pancake mix. I just always buy the classic. That looks really good. We might try it one of these days.
From the crumble topping to the rest of the whipped cream-topped pancakes, and even the bacon – I am salivating over here. I would totally make this recipe!
I LOVE Krusteaz pancake mix. It is so light and fluffy. This looks absolutely delicious!
I made pancakes this morning AND I have cider. Why didn’t I read this earlier 🙂 TOMORROW though!
ooh wow, this looks so delicious. I cannot wait to try out this recipe, the diet will have to wait.
Oh you are killing me with this recipe. How great does all of that look?? I had the worst breakfast ever this morning and now I am drooling over this picture.
First of all, what a genius idea to use apple cider instead of water!! How do you think of things like that?! 🙂 And secondly, the crisp topping is making me drool.
I would love to make this for my family! Definitely adding this to my Pinterest recipes board to save for later!
We go apple picking several times in the fall, I will need to remember this recipe then! I bet the house will smell amazing!
Krusteaz has such good mixes! You did a marvelous pairing with the pancakes. I could lick the screen!.
Absolutely so yummy & delicious. I love Apple Cider so much & this looks like a great combination of Apple Crisp topping over the Pancakes. Would love to give a try.
This combines two of my favorite foods: pancakes and apple crisp. I am definitely going to try this one. I hope I can find the Krusteaz Apple Crisp because I haven’t seen it at my Publix.
I’ve never tried making apple crumble but it looks easy. The pancakes look so yummy.
We do applesauce pancakes pretty often, the kids are crazy for them. We use apple cider in the recipe also, but it’s different than these. It’s such a tasty twist on a classic that you almost don’t need topping.
This recipe sounds delicious. I never thought to substitute apple cider for water in the pancake recipe. It shall have to try this with the crumble.
I love a nice warm crumble topping. Strawberry rhubarb is my favorite. Apple is my 2nd. So, I need some of these pancakes in my life.
That sounds so good! I seriously love apple crumble and apple cider SO much- I need to make these!
I picked up a box of Crisp Topping today. Getting ready for weekend breakfast!

I would never have thought to add those two together. I wish I had a a fork right now.
Wow this looks like the most amazing breakfast ever, I love apple so this would be perfect for me.

OH boy do those pancakes look good! They would make the perfect brinner!

How delicious is this? OMG, I think my husband would be very happy if I made him this.
Those look extra delicious. I can’t wait to try this recipe. My mouth is watering already!
Apple cider instead of water — I never would have thought! That’s a great idea! I would have a VERY hard time not eating most of that apple crumble before putting it on the pancakes though 🙂
I love my pancake with bacon. This gets extra special since you get to have apple crumbles as toppings.
my youngest loves pancakes…that is about all he will eat for breakfast…
that crumble sounds delicious though as a topping and would be a cool way to dress it up…
This is definitely an interesting recipe!
I’d like to make these pancakes for our next brunch.
thanks
This looks so YUM!! One of my sillier resolutions this year is to eat more pancakes. I will add this one to the “must try” list!
Beautiful photos! Love the first photo. This dish looks so good and it is something I’d love to sink my teeth into.

I could totally gobble up a stack of those right now! They sound so delicious!
Yummy and now I want bacon!
Those look amazing. I’ve read that apple cider vinegar is supposed to be so good for you too….win, win.
Oh yum what a delicious looking set of pancakes, I actually really fancy some at the moment. x

I think I just gained a couple of pounds just looking at that deliciousness–I can taste them already. They really do sound good and I really like this creation you came up with! Still looking for these mixes in the stores.
Really? Apple Cider? Well I never heard of that but I bet I would like it.
Is this for real!?? Why oh why couldn’t I have learned about this 20 years ago? LOL These look sooo freakin’ good!! Thanks for sharing!
These look fantastic! Definitely pinned for later use. They look so good we might have to have these for supper since we don’t get many opportunities to have a great breakfast.
Oh, yum! I love pancakes and the bacon and toppings make it outstanding. Wish I could eat wheat 🙂
What a great idea! Pancakes are awesome, adding a little bling to them is better.
Why am I reading this (and drooling) so early in the morning, knowing that I’m probably having oatmeal for breakfast? These pancakes look incredibly delicious. I would definitely wow guests if I served theis for a weekend brunch. Pinning so I can make them soon!
Your pancakes look amazing! Apple Pancakes are my favorite – these not only look delicious they are easy to make.

Pancakes are my favorite, and that looks so scrumptious!
Yummy. We had strawberry applesauce pancakes for dinner tonight!

That looks delicious, I’m going to try this, this week.
We often make apple cider donuts, pancakes or waffles, but I love your clever idea of topping them with apple crumb topping. Yum! Yes, my Mom always used Krusteaz and I enjoy it to. Great recipe. This would definitely “wow” the breakfast crowd.
I love apple cider donuts, too, but I have never made them myself. I should try that.
I would definitely be wowed if someone served that to me for breakfast. I love pancakes as it is, but that apple crumble is amazing.
I love the idea of apple flavored pancakes. I imagine that they have some amazing flavors.
