How to Make Apfelpfannkuchen Apple Pancakes

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. In a medium skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
5. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of sugar with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.
6. Toss the cooked apples with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
7. Heat 2 teaspoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
8. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.
9. When the edges begin to set and the top surface is bubbly (about 2-3 minutes), top with 1/4 of the apple mixture.
10. Pour another 1/4 cup of batter over the apples to cover.
11. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
12. Repeat steps 7-11 until all batter and apples are used.
13. Serve the Apfelpfannkuchen immediately, warm and delicious!
