Looking for a quick and delicious breakfast that is a sure crowd pleaser? Look no further! Today I’ll be sharing my recipe for Cinnamon Apple German Pancakes.
German Pancakes are a very common breakfast in our house and most morning my children ask, “Are we having German pancakes today??”. In future posts I’ll share other variations of this recipe.
I make my recipe in a 9×13 and on days when I want a smaller batch (weekdays when my husband is working) I do a 9×9 and then just cut the recipe in half.
Begin by preheating the oven to 425 F. Place 1/4 c butter in the pan and place in the oven to begin melting.
Thinly slice 2 apples (I typically use Granny Smith but here I used Pink Lady. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand.) and then cut each piece into halves or thirds.
Mix apple slices with 1/4 c brown sugar, 1 t cinnamon, and 1/2 t salt. Pour apple slices into the pan with the melting butter. Cook for 5-10 minutes or until the apples are softening.
In the meantime prepare the German pancake batter. In a blender pour 1 1/2 c of milk, 6 eggs, 1 1/2 c flour, 1 t vanilla, and 1/2 t salt. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides about halfway through. Blending should only take 15-20 seconds.
When apples are softened remove pan from oven and pour batter over the apples. Place back in the oven and let cook for 15-20 minutes.
You’ll know the German pancakes are done when large air bubbles form in the pan and the edges are beginning to very lightly brown.
I have found that it is slightly easier to cut mine when I have waited about 5 minutes. Serve with pure maple syrup. Yum!
