Making a puffed apple pancake is one of my favorite breakfasts to make for special occasions. I can get carried away though. One time when I had girlfriends over for a visit, I took the peelings from the apples and made bows and roses out of them to decorate the plate.
About a year ago I posted an Apple Pancake Puff recipe similar to this one. I like and use them both. The Apple Puff recipe featured today is probably my favorite of the two because it seems to keep the “puff” longer. In other words, it doesn’t deflate quite as quickly, so it looks nice when plated.
This recipe makes enough for four generous portions. It works great as a dessert too, served alone or with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
