Known as Apfelpfannkuchen in Germany, these fruity baked pancakes are filled with apples and cinnamon.
Ingredients
- 11⁄4oz softened unsalted butter
- 11⁄2 tsp sunflower oil
- 2 apples, peeled, cored and thickly sliced
- 11⁄2 tsp cinnamon
- 2oz flour (plain)
- 11⁄4oz brown sugar
- 1⁄2oz caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 31⁄2fl oz semi-skimmed milk
- 1⁄4 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
1
Pre-heat the oven to 220°C / 200°C (fan oven) / 430°F / Gas Mark 7. Line the base of a round cake tin (not loose based), with baking paper. Add half the butter and the oil, then swirl around the tin to coat the inside.
2
Mix the apples with the cinnamon and remaining butter. Layer evenly in the base of the tin. Cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, sift the flour into a bowl and add a pinch of salt. Add the sugar and make a well in the centre. Break the eggs into the well and add the milk. Whisk together, gradually drawing in the flour, to form a thick batter.
4
Remove the tin with the cooked apple mixture from the oven and immediately pour over the batter. Return to the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, until the baked pancake is puffed up and golden brown.
5
Immediately turn out upside down. Cut into wedges. Serve hot or cold.
