Yield 18 to 24 pancakes (depending on size of the tin)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup milk
1 heaping tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
6 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon salt
Nonstick cooking spray
Apple-Calvados Caramel Sauce, recipe follows
1/4 cup powdered sugar mixed with 1 heaping teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 Gala apple, peeled, cored and diced
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and diced
1 cup packed light brown muscovado sugar
1/4 cup calvados
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 fresh mint leaves, torn, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the milk, sugar, vanilla, zest and eggs in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the flour, butter and salt and blend until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Spray muffin tins well with nonstick cooking spray and pour 1/4 cup batter into each tin, filling about three-quarters full. Bake until puffy and golden on top, about 15 minutes. Remove and let sit on a baking rack for a few minutes. Remove the individual pancakes to a platter. The pancakes will sink slightly in the center. Fill with some of the Apple-Calvados Caramel Sauce and dust with cinnamon powdered sugar.

Remove the skillet from the heat, add the calvados, then return to the stove and cook until reduced. Add the heavy cream and cook until warmed through. Finish with the mint.

GERMAN APPLE PANCAKES RECIPE - (4.7/5)



German Apple Pancakes Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by Marylee

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs
3/4 Cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 Cup milk
1/4 Cup sugar
1/2 tsp. PENZEYS CINNAMON
4 TB. butter, divided
2 medium apples, peeled if desired and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Place two pie pans (we prefer glass) in the oven to heat. Beat the eggs, flour, milk and salt on medium speed for 1 minute. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and CINNAMON and set aside. Take the pans out of the oven and put 2 TB. butter in each pan, moving it around to coat the pan bottoms and sides. Spread the apple slices in the bottom of the pans. Pour half the batter in each pan. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffy. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or griddle to ensure that the pancakes have enough space to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Make sure the skillet or griddle is hot enough before adding the batter. This will help to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
  • Pour the batter into the hot skillet or griddle in a circular motion to create a thin, even layer.
  • Do not flip the pancakes too early. Wait until the edges are slightly golden brown and the top is covered in bubbles.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

German apple pancakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious pancake that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give German apple pancakes a try.
