Instructions
Step 1
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
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
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
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
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
Equipment
A good quality blender will help you create a smooth mixture of apples and milk, making your pancakes super fluffy. If you don't have a blender, you can mash the apples finely with a fork.



Use a non-stick frying pan for even cooking; make sure to lightly grease it for the best results. A cast-iron skillet also works wonders if heated properly.



A sturdy spatula will help you flip the pancakes without breaking them. Silicone or wooden spatulas are gentler on your frying pan!



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!
Variations
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!

You'll know it's time to flip when you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set. Aim for a nice golden color!
- Can I make the batter ahead of time?
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!
- What fruits work well in this recipe?
Besides apples, consider incorporating mashed bananas or grated zucchini for added moisture and flavor!
