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.

How to cook Fluffy pancakes with apples

Step 1

Prepare the dough for lush fritters with apples. Mix half of the milk and 100 ml of hot water with 1 tsp. sugar, 2 tbsp. l. flour, a pinch of salt and yeast until smooth. Place in a warm place to form a yeast cap, 30 minutes.

Step 2

Sift the remaining flour into the egg mixture, mix. Pour in the yeast mixture, stir until smooth.

Step 3

Peel and grate the apples on a coarse grater. Add apples and butter to the dough, mix. Cover the bowl with cling film and leave in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.

Step 4

Heat a cast-iron skillet to high heat, lightly grease with oil, spread the dough with a tablespoon without stirring it. Bake pancakes with apples over medium heat. Put the finished ones in a bowl or pan under the lid. Serve hot with honey or jam.

Fluffy pancakes with apples - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use different types of apples in the Fluffy Pancakes recipe?

Absolutely! Granny Smith apples will give a tart flavor, while Gala or Honeycrisp provide more sweetness. Experiment to find your favorite!

How long can I store leftover apple pancakes?

Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a microwave, skillet, or toaster before serving.

Can I make these pancakes dairy-free or vegan?

Yes, substitute the milk with almond, soy, or oat milk and use a vegan butter alternative. For a vegan egg substitute, try using flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water per egg).

What is the best way to keep the pancakes warm while cooking the rest of the batch?

Place the cooked pancakes on a wire rack in a preheated oven at a low temperature (around 200°F or 93°C). This will keep them warm and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Can I freeze the apple pancakes for later?

Yes, you can! Let the pancakes cool completely. Then, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for about an hour. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster, oven or microwave.

Can I reduce the sugar in the recipe?

Yes, you can reduce the sugar to 1/2 tsp. or even omit it entirely, especially if you are using sweet apples and serving with a sweet topping like honey or jam. You can also use a sugar alternative.

What if I don't have time to let the dough rise for a full hour?

While a longer rise yields fluffier pancakes, you can get away with a shorter rise of 30-45 minutes in a warm place. The pancakes may be slightly less airy, but still delicious.

Can I add any other spices to the pancake batter?

Definitely! Cinnamon, nutmeg, or a pinch of cardamom would complement the apple flavor beautifully. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of your chosen spice to the batter.

What are some serving suggestions besides honey and jam?

Try topping the pancakes with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of granola, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a homemade apple compote. You can also add some chopped nuts for extra crunch.
