Prep time: 20 min

Cook time: 20 min

Total time: 40 min

Yield: 8-12 pancakes

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 apples
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • ½ tsp salt

Cooking Directions

  1. Add the ¼ sugar and the cinnamon to a small bowl and mix together to create the topping. Set aside.
  2. Whisk together dry ingredients (remaining sugar, flour, and salt) in a large bowl, and then add milk in a steady stream, whisking constantly but gently. Whisk eggs in one at a time.
  3. Cut apples into "matchsticks" roughly ⅛ in thick, discarding the core. Toss with lemon juice and fold apple mixture into batter.
  4. Place a cookie sheet in oven and preheat to warm.
  5. Heat small skillet (6" to 8") over medium heat and add ½ tablespoon to coat pan.
  6. Add roughly ⅓ cup batter to pan, rotating and lifting pan to ensure batter spreads evenly. When lightly browned on bottom, flip and cook reverse side until lightly browned as well. Remove from pan and place in oven to keep warm.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter and butter, and serve warm with cinnamon and sugar mixture sprinkled on top.

    These look good! Yes in Germany we are very fond of Apples and Pancakes. I made a German caramelised apple pancake once, which is a very thick pancake like a cake! You should try variation. The recipe is on my blog. xxx
