Apple pancakes with cinnamon and sugar: simple recipe
To make the apple pancakes so wonderfully juicy and fruity, we use a large portion of fresh apples in our recipe. A little sparkling water ensures that the pancakes are nice and fluffy. By the way, the pancakes taste particularly good fresh from the pan with a little cinnamon and sugar.
Ingredients for 9 large pancakes:
- 2 Owner
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pinch of sugar
- 200 g Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pack vanilla sugar
- 200 ml milk
- 100 ml sparkling water
- 3 apples
- some oil or butter for frying
- cinnamon and sugar
And this is how it works:
1. Peel, core and cut apples into small slices.
2. Separate the eggs. Place the egg yolks in a large bowl and the egg whites in a smaller bowl. Now add salt, sugar, flour, baking powder, vanilla sugar and sparkling water to the bowl with the egg yolks and mix with a hand mixer to form a uniform dough. Depending on how you feel, the dough can be thickened with a little flour or thinned with a little milk.
3. Beat the egg whites in the other bowl until fluffy. Add the egg whites to the bowl with the remaining dough and fold in carefully. Finally, carefully fold in the apple pieces.
4. Heat some oil or butter in a pan. When it is hot, use a ladle to add some batter to the pan and swirl to distribute the batter evenly. Then cook the pancake on both sides until it is golden brown.
5. Process the remaining dough into pancakes as well. After every other pancake, add a little more oil or butter to ensure nothing burns. Then serve on a plate with cinnamon and sugar. Bon appetit!
Super tasty:Serve a scoop of vanilla ice cream with the apple pancakes. This goes perfectly with the fluffy dough and the fruity apples. And the best thing is when the vanilla ice cream starts to melt on the still warm apple pancake.
These toppings go well with apple pancakes
Are the pancakes with cinnamon and sugar too boring for you or are you just craving other delicious toppings? We'll tell you what also goes well with apple pancakes.
Chocolate:
Pancakes with chocolate are a real classic – and they also go wonderfully with the apple pieces. You can simply put some Nutella over the pancake or alternatively spread a few chocolate pieces on the still warm apple pancake. When the chocolate has melted, it tastes best.
For extra crunch, spread a few chopped nut pieces on the pancakes. And for the ultimate taste explosion, you can caramelize the nut pieces in a pan with a little honey beforehand. So delicious!
Lemon curd:
If you like something fresh and a little healthier, you should try our delicious lemon curd. To do this, simply put the quark in a bowl and beat it. Then add some lemon juice and vanilla sugar as desired. If you like it nice and sweet, you can also season the whole thing with a little honey.
Homemade applesaucempott:
Apple sauce or apple compote also goes well with apple pancakes. Of course you can also use the finished one from the supermarket. For the homemade version you need around 4 apples, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 200 ml water and a little sugar. Put all ingredients in a pot and bring to the boil. Simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes. Let cool slightly and then serve on the pancake.
