Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make German Apple Pancakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl and whisk together the eggs, flour, one tablespoon of sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until everything is well combined.

2. Step 2

   As you whisk, slowly pour in the milk, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and creamy.

3. Step 3

   Next, fold in the vanilla extract, melted butter, and half a teaspoon of nutmeg for that warm, inviting flavor.

4. Step 4

   For the best results, let your batter rest for about 30 minutes, or if you have the time, refrigerate it overnight to really enhance the flavors.

5. Step 5

   While your batter is resting, preheat your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C).

6. Step 6

   Now, take a 10-inch oven-proof skillet and melt a quarter cup of butter over medium heat.

7. Step 7

   Make sure to brush some of that melted butter up the sides of the pan for extra flavor.

8. Step 8

   In a small bowl, mix together a quarter cup of sugar, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and half a teaspoon of nutmeg.

   Once your butter is melted, evenly sprinkle this delightful mixture over it.

    Next, it’s time to add the star of the show: the apple slices! Arrange them beautifully in the skillet, and then sprinkle the remaining quarter cup of sugar over the apples to create a sweet, caramelized topping.

11. Step 11

    Heat the skillet on medium-high until you see the mixture start to bubble gently.

12. Step 12

    This is where the magic begins! Carefully pour your rested batter over the apples, covering them completely.

    Now, it’s time to bake! Transfer your skillet to the preheated oven and let it bake for 15 minutes.
