While many breakfast chains are bolstering their fall menus with pumpkin-flavored goods, IHOP is giving consumers a different kind of seasonal treat to enjoy with the launch of its Apple Ring Pancakes.
The 2016 fall menu at IHOP features the chain's beloved Pumpkin Spice Pancakes, as well as the brand-new Apple Ring Pancakes. The seasonal apple-flavored breakfast dish consists of three fluffy, silver dollar buttermilk pancakes, each of which is made with a sweet Gala apple ring cooked inside. The pancakes also come with a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar, a dollop of cinnamon apple butter and a grilled apple slice.
With many people tiring of pumpkin-flavored dishes, the new Apple Ring Pancakes offer a tantalizing alternative.
