Ingredients
German Apple Pancake
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 Tablespoons salted butter divided
- 1 apple peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices
- 1 Tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- powdered sugar for dusting
Cider Syrup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 Tablespoons salted butter
Instructions
German Apple Pancake
- Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, flour, vanilla, and salt and blend using an immersion blender until smooth and combined. Set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet or oven safe pan over medium heat. Add the sliced apple and sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the apple begins to soften, stirring frequently.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan with the cooked apples and heat until melted, then pour the pancake batter directly over the melted butter and apples and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until puffy and golden brown around the edges.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately with cider syrup.
Cup of Yum
Cider Syrup
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the sugars, cornstarch, and cinnamon, then gradually pour in the apple cider and lemon juice, whisking to combine.
- Heat over medium heat, whisking frequently, until the syrup begins to thicken slightly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and butter until combined, then serve with warm pancakes. This is also delicious over ice cream.
Notes
- Apple German Pancakes adapted from Bon Appetit and Cider Syrup adapted from Little Dairy on the Prairie.
