Ingredients
Dough:
- 1 ¼ cups plain flour
- ⅔ cup white yogurt
- 2 ½ tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 egg
Apples:
- 2 apples
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 ½ tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Steps
STEP 1: Prepare the Apples
Peel the apples, cut them in half, remove the cores and stems, and slice the flesh into thin crescent-shaped pieces. Heat a pan on the stove and melt 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of butter. Once melted, sprinkle in 2 ½ tablespoons (30 grams) of sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat to low, add the apple slices to the pan, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
STEP 2: Make the Batter
While the apples are cooking, crack one egg into a bowl and add 2 ½ tablespoons (30 grams) of sugar and 1 tablespoon (8 grams) of vanilla sugar. Beat the mixture with a whisk until it becomes uniform and slightly foamy. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of sunflower oil and continue to whisk until the oil is fully incorporated. Then, add ⅔ cup (150 grams) of white yogurt and mix well. Sift 1 ¼ cups (150 grams) of plain flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder into the mixture. Continue mixing until you have a thick, semi-liquid, and homogeneous batter.
STEP 3: Combine Apples and Batter
Sprinkle the cooked apples in the pan with ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon and mix well. Pour the prepared batter over the apples, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover all the apple pieces. Smooth the surface of the batter, cover the pan with a lid, and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes. The batter should be fully cooked; test it with a toothpick to ensure it comes out clean.
STEP 4: Cook the Other Side
Carefully turn the cake onto a plate, then slide it back into the pan with the uncooked side facing down. Cover the pan with the lid and cook for another 5 minutes until the other side turns golden brown. After baking, transfer the pancake cake to a plate.
Decorate with your choice of jam, sour cream, whipped cream, or simply sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into portions and serve with a cup of fragrant coffee or tea.
