Apple Pancake Recipe
Start preparing the apple pancakes with the fruit.
After washing and peeling the apple, remove the core.
Cut it into slices and then into fairly small cubes.
Prepare the pancake batter: place the egg, sugar, salt, and milk in a bowl.
Mix with a whisk to combine the three ingredients.
Continue the preparation by adding the sunflower oil, vanilla, and cinnamon.
If you like, you can also add a pinch of nutmeg.
Mix again with the whisk.
Finally, sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder directly into the bowl.
Mix with the whisk until you get a smooth and lump-free batter.
It’s time to add the apple cubes to the pancake batter.
Mix again until the apples are well distributed in the batter.
Heat a non-stick pan, preferably with a flat bottom, and grease it with a small amount of sunflower oil.
Add a small ladle of batter and let it cook until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes.
Continue the same way until all the batter is used up.
Transfer the pancakes to a plate or tray and serve them accompanied by honey or maple syrup.
