Fluffy pancakes with apples

Cookinero 21 October 2022

Lush pancakes with apples are an original dish, even a little festive. And it's all thanks to fruit! These pancakes can be served for lunch on Saturday or Sunday, or they can be prepared for the arrival of friends. Well, on Maslenitsa, as they say, it’s just a sin not to bake them! Apples in this recipe are easily replaced with other fruits - pears, bananas or even pineapples. It also turns out very well! But we still like the classic version: in the taste of lush fritters with apples, a moderate pleasant sourness is felt - noble and unobtrusive.
