Description

German pancakes are usually just called dutch baby pancakes. They have the usual pancake batter but are usually cooked (or baked, but today we air fried), so they become puffy. Since fall is upon us, today I made my German pancake with apples coated in ground cinnamon. This makes a terrific breakfast. If you want to make them plain, use the same batter, and garnish with any fruit in season.

Ingredients 

Batter:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Apples:

  • 1 large apple, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Topping

  • 1/8 cup maple syrup
  • 1/8 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, mix all of the batter ingredients and sit for about 15 minutes
  • Peel and slice the apples, add them to a small mixing bowl, add the sugar and ground cinnamon, and stir to coat the apples.
  • Add the butter to a pan (anything that is oven safe is usually air fryer safe)
  • Place the pan with the butter into the air fryer for 2 minutes at 350 degrees F (air fryer setting)
  • Once the butter is melted, add the apples to the bottom of the pan, and then add the batter on top.
  • Set into the air fryer for 8-12 minutes at 350 degrees F, air fryer setting
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!

Equipment
