Apfelpfannkuchen (German apple pancakes)

These exquisite German apple pancakes are not much like normal pancakes—more like a set custard and lacking the air pockets normal pancakes have. They’re quite easy to make and there’s nothing like caramelized apples for a great dessert or breakfast dish.

Serves: 4–6
Total time: ~30 min

You’ll need:
A non-stick frying pan that won’t melt in the oven
4–5 apples (pick something that will hold together when cooked. I used empire, but pretty much anything with decent acidity is okay: granny smith, golden delicious, etc.)
100 g white flour
90 mL (6 tbsp) white sugar
1.25 mL (1/4 tsp) kosher salt
180 mL cream or milk
60 mL sour cream
3 eggs
5 mL (1 tsp) vanilla extract
1.25 mL (1/4 tsp) powdered cinnamon
60 mL (4 tbsp) butter
