Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Apples

Start by peeling the apples and removing the cores. Cut them into smaller pieces to make blending easier.

Place the apple pieces into a blender along with the milk. Blend them until you achieve a smooth mixture.

Step 2

Combine Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, add the blended apple and milk mixture. Next, crack in the egg, and add the sugar, salt, cinnamon, and flour combined with the baking powder.

Stir everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could lead to tough pancakes.

Step 3

Add the Butter

Slowly incorporate the melted butter into the pancake batter. Mix gently to ensure everything is well combined.

Your batter should be thick but still pourable. Allow it to rest for a few minutes while you heat your skillet.

Step 4

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of oil or butter. Once hot, pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet.

Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set, then carefully flip the pancake and cook for another minute or two until golden brown.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Stack your delicious apple pancakes on a plate and serve them warm.

For a delightful touch, consider drizzling them with sour cream and topping with your favorite jam, such as orange jam. Enjoy your cozy morning treat!

Servings

For a delightful twist, consider adding fresh fruits like berries or banana slices on top of your pancakes.🌟 They're not only pretty but pack a fruity punch! Serve your apple pancakes with a generous dollop of whipped cream or maple syrup for that irresistible sweetness. 🍯 You can even pair them with a scoop of ice cream for a delicious dessert! 🍦 Try experimenting with different jams—orange jam, as mentioned, complements the apple flavor beautifully, but raspberry and strawberry jams are also fantastic choices! 🥰

Equipment

Mixing Bowls

You'll need a couple of mixing bowls: one for the wet ingredients and another for the dry. This keeps the mixing process efficient and clean!

We recommend:

Variations

Gluten-Free Option: Substitute regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend to enjoy these pancakes without gluten! Just make sure your baking powder is gluten-free, too. 🌾
Vegan Option: Swap out the egg for a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) and use almond or oat milk instead. Replace the butter with coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative. 🌱 Enjoy your fluffy pancakes without any animal products and still make them delicious!

Faq

  • What can I do if my pancake batter is too thick?

    If your batter looks too thick, add a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency. It should be pourable but not too runny!

    Yes! You can prepare the batter a few hours in advance and keep it in the fridge. Just give it a good stir before cooking!
