Recipe: German Apple Pancake - Apfelpfannkuchen

I totally love this recipe for German Apple Pancake, the so-called Apfelpfannkuchen.

I got this recipe from an old acquaintance from Germany and it is apparently authentic. Ingredients 50g butter, to be melted 2 tsp sunflower oil 2 large apples…

Valentine is around the corner and overrated as always. However getting a little something by the person you love is great (especially if the partner in question never gives you anything except on these few occasions). Flowers are nice but they die after a few days (not a great message there), chocolates make you fat (also not great!) so a perfume has to be the most romantic gift. The choice is…
