Gluten-Free German Apple Pancakes custard-like pancakes loaded with cinnamon apple goodness in every bite. An underbar way to start any breakfast or brunch. I am not exactly sure why, but something about the puffy pancake and cinnamon apples makes your stomach happy. Needless to say, if you flip it upside down on a plate it looks like a French Tarte Tatin.  Consequently, it goes a lot faster than flipping pancakes. These pancakes are a breeze to make. Serve with bacon, eggs, sausage, toast, and maple syrup.A bite of Gluten-Free German Apple Pancakes on a fork.

Gluten-Free German Apple Pancakes:

Since my homeschool journey has come to an end I have decided to come up with a few decadent recipes that will feed two people. I wanted to spoil my husband with a quick and elegant brunch. The recipe is easily doubled or tripled. Not to mention that it takes less than thirty minutes to make is beyond wonderful. Nonetheless, when Americans think of German Pancakes they often think of Dutch Baby Pancakes. There are in fact, a ton of recipes on the internet that have German, Dutch, and American roots to them. Not to mention, every family has its own twist on these eggy puff-like pancakes.

In fact, this pancake can be made in a blender or with an electric mixer.  Moreover, these pancakes can be made for breakfast or for dessert. Not to mention, the aromas will have everyone gravitating to the kitchen. Some of the puffiness will disappear as it cools.

Finally, place the skillets into the oven and bake the apple for 5 – 8 minutes or until you can pierce them easily with a fork.

While the apples are baking make the pancake batter in a blender. Place the remaining ingredients into the blender. Place the top on and blend for 1 minute. Next, once apples are cooked carefully remove them from the oven. Lastly, pour half the batter into each skillet.Gluten-Free German Apple Pancakes apples topped with pancake batter Cook 10 – 12 minutes until lightly browned or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Baker’s Note:

For more aesthetically pleasing pancakes allow some of the apples to poke out. Or flip the pancake out so it is upside down on a plate.
