Recipe: American apple pancakes

I had a lot of apples and was curious to see what I could make beside desserts like the classical apple pie, apple strudel, or apple sauce. There are several recipes where you add just an apple but I wanted to use up more than that. This American Apple Pancake recipe was the result (using up 4 apples) and it was so nice I need to share it!

This recipe will result in 9 plate size thick american apple pancakes. Two each will make you full if you have them for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

  

• 4 apples 225 g when shredded
• 120 g butter ½ cup when melted
• 500 ml milk ~2 cups
• 2 eggs
• 400 g flour ~2½ cups
• 2,5 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• butter

Instructions

 

• Take out all needed ingredients, peel the apples
• Melt the butter and mix with the milk in big bowl (you need to warm up the milk a bit otherwise the butter will form lumps)
• Stir in the eggs and shred the apples into the wet mixture
• Use another bowl to mix the remaining dry ingredients, then stir it into the wet mixture
• If you want this process to go fast then use 3 pans at the same time to fry the pancakes. Heat up the pans on medium heat with some butter. Around 100 ml batter for each pancake will yield 9 pancakes of the size you see in the pictures. Brown on both sides and serve hot with some apple sauce of your own preferred topping.
