In this article you will find my apple pancake recipe.
We all know simple pancakes with pieces of apple 🙂
The apple pieces are first fried and then supplemented with pancake batter.
Alternatively, you can put the apple pieces directly into the liquid pancake batter in the pan and bake them.
The traditional variant is very easy to do and is also included in the article.
In addition, you will find a sophisticated gourmet variant that makes the gourmet heart beat faster.
I wish you good luck!

3. Best Apple Pancakes Recipe
My basic recipe consists of a simple pancake batter.
So that you can find the best recipe for your pancake orgy, I’ll add another tip here:
For fluffy pancake batter you can add a teaspoon of baking powder to the above recipe.
Mix the baking powder into the prepared batter and then bake the pancakes.
Please hurry up when placing the apple slices.
The baking powder will make the pancake rise in the pan as it cooks.
Forget the sparkling water idea, the fizz is unsuitable for fluffy, high-baked grandmother’s pancakes.
The amount of carbonic acid is just not enough to make the pancakes really fluffy 🙂
You can use a pan with a diameter of 24 cm or a large pan to bake the fluffy pancakes.
The large pan is recommended if you want to bake small pancakes, then three pancakes will fit in the pan.
By the way, my grandmother used an iron pan.
The pan was only used for egg dishes and pancakes and was always greased after use.
So the pan could never rust and the pan was ready for the next use.
Copper pan as a pancake pan:
Today I use a 24 cm copper pan for the preparation.
The copper pan is superior to any pan, this is due to the optimal heat conduction.
My pan is made of copper on the outside and the frying surface is made of stainless steel.
The pancakes do not stick in this pan and can be baked perfectly without a coating.
The right pancake ladle:
The choice of ladle or ladle is important to getting the right amount of batter into the pan.
I always use a small ladle with a capacity of 0.07 l, i.e. 70 ml.
Actually, the ladle holds 75 ml up to the edge, I always stay just under the edge of the ladle with the amount of dough.
The right amount of pancake batter:
My recipe results in 280 ml of pancake batter and that’s four ladles with 70 ml of batter each.
Small or large eggs will slightly vary the amount of dough you use, with small eggs you can simply use one more egg.
4. FAQ Apple Pancake
Frequently asked questions about apple-pancake are summarized below:
Which flour is right for flour is right for apple pancakes?
Use wheat flour type 405, you can also use gluten-free flour such as Schär Mix Cakes and Biscuits.
With buckwheat flour or spelt flour you can easily adjust the binding of the dough yourself as desired.
What size pan can you recommend for baking the apple pancakes?
I use a copper pan with a diameter of 24 cm for baking the apple pancakes.
In this pan you can also bake fluffy granny apple pancakes with baking powder.
If you want to prepare small pancakes, please use a large pan, so you can fry two-four pancakes at once.
Is a coated pan necessary for baking apple pancakes?
Coated pans usually have a lifespan of 2-4 years. After that, the coating is broken and you have to buy a new pan.
An iron pan will last a lifetime, but you must use it regularly and coat it with oil after each use to prevent rusting.
I recommend you a high quality copper pan, it will last a lifetime, you will save energy and the ingredients will not stick.
What kind of apple can you recommend for apple pancakes?
For example, for apple pancakes is suitable Boskop, Jonagold, Elstar, as well as Cox orange.
Boskop -> A very fruity and very aromatic apple variety.
Jonagold -> A sweet and balanced tart tasting, pleasant apple variety.
Elstar –> A particularly aromatic variety of apple.
Can I save sugar in apple pancake batter?
Replace sugar with sweetener or birch sugar.
Note, however, birch sugar is not a good idea for sensitive stomach and intestines, as this type of sugar can irritate.
You can replace vanilla sugar with real vanilla pulp from the vanilla bean or use a vanilla flavoring.
Can I add the apple pieces to the batter right away?
I would not recommend this method to you, as you cannot control the amount of batter as you pour it into the pan.
What is the difference between apple pancakes and apple Palatschinken?
Palatschinken is the Austrian name for pancakes.
The dough is prepared in the original from 120 g flour, 4-5 eggs, 250 ml milk and a little salt.
Apple pancakes according to this recipe you can prepare less sweet.
How to prepare an apple pancake with yeast?
Use 150 g of flour and 250 ml of milk and 4 eggs and mix or blend with a quarter packet of dry yeast.
The recipe also works with 4 g of fresh yeast, which you dissolve in a little warm milk and add instead of the dry yeast.
The dough tastes more harmonious if you add 4 pinches of salt, 1 packet of vanilla sugar, 2 tsp of sugar.
Leave the pancake batter to rise for an hour. During this time, the dough gains volume.
You can then bake the dough with the apples.
Does apple pancake taste better with mineral water?
The carbonic acid from the mineral water makes the pancake batter a little fluffier and fluffier when baked.
You can try this and replace 1/4 of the milk with mineral water.
Why do I need baking powder for fluffy, tall apple pancakes?
Baking powder or yeast makes the apple pancake rise, so you get it fluffy apple pancakes.
How does an apple pancake cup recipe go?
You need a cup with 235 ml capacity (this corresponds to the unit US cup).
You can buy suitable cup measuring cups and use them.
Mix the cup pancake batter from the following ingredients:
2 cups flour, 1 cup milk, 4 eggs, 3 pinches salt, 5 pinches sugar, 1 cup mineral water.
What fat is good for baking apple pancakes?
Use clarified butter to fry the apple pancakes.
You can also use refined vegetable oil like sunflower oil or canola oil.
Nut butter is considered an insider’s tip among cooks for baking apple pancakes and creates an additional, nutty flavor.
