How to Make Apple Cinnamon Blinis

  1. Dice 2 medium apples into small pieces (about 1 cup).
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the diced apples with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  3. Set aside.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
  5. Add the apple mixture to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the apples are softened and coated in a sugary glaze, stirring occasionally.
  6. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup of sour cream, and 1/2 cup of milk until well combined.
  9. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Do not overmix.
  10. Gently fold in the cooled apple mixture.
  11. Heat a lightly oiled nonstick griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  12. Drop spoonfuls (about 1-2 tablespoons) of batter onto the hot griddle, leaving space between each blini.
  13. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles begin to form on the surface.
  14. Serve warm. Top each blini with a dollop of the remaining sour cream (about 1 teaspoon per blini) and enjoy!
