Apple Pancakes

Ingredients

• 250 ml apple juice
• 4 tbsp apple concentrate
• 2 tsp starch
• 1 Tbsp vanilla sugar
• 0.5 lemon (juice)
• 2 tart apples
• 125 g spelt flour type 1050
• 2 tbsp ground walnuts
• 2 tbsp fine oatmeal flakes
• 2 tbsp Raw cane sugar
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 175 ml soy drink (soy milk)
• a splash of mineral water as needed

Instructions

1. 1.

   First, bring apple juice and apple concentrate to a boil and let it reduce slightly into a syrupy consistency. Stir in starch with vanilla sugar and lemon juice, mix into the syrup and allow it to thicken lightly. Peel the apples, quarter them, remove the core, then cut each quarter into strips. Add to the syrup and simmer for about 2 minutes over low heat, then remove from the stove.

2. 2.

   For the batter, whisk together flour with walnuts, oatmeal flakes, sugar, baking powder, salt, soy drink and a little water until smooth.

3. 3.

   In a hot non-stick pan, add a small amount of oil and pour in about 2 tbsp of batter to form each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes until golden brown, flip and cook another 2–3 minutes. Keep finished pancakes warm at about 75 °C in the oven until all are cooked.

4. 4.

   Let the compote heat up again briefly and serve with the apple pancakes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
