- Why do they stick?
- The sugar (fructose) in the apple caramelizes with heat and can stick. Use a good non-stick pan and a bit more oil than for regular pancakes, frying over medium heat.
- The center is raw.
- The batter was too thick or the heat too high. Cook slower so the apple softens inside without burning the outside.
Grated Apple Pancakes with Cinnamon
This recipe is the love child of traditional thin crepes and American thick pancakes. The grated apple in the batter doesn't just act as a filling but becomes part of the fabric, making every bite juicy and fragrant. The pairing of cinnamon and apple is an eternal classic that turns a simple breakfast or dinner into a celebration.
