My family absolutely loves German pancakes, otherwise known as hootenannies at our house. So when I saw Sharlene Hawkes on KSL’s Studio 5 sharing a recipe for German Apple Pancakes, I had to give them a try. It does require a little more effort than regular German Pancakes with the addition of apples, but is well worth it. I thought it was a nice change from the regular German pancakes and would be great to serve to guests. This one is now in my tried and true file.

We had this for dinner last night. Two recipes from your site in a row and they’ve both been new favorites! I used Granny Smith apples (someone asked on the flashback Friday link).
Does this end up having the texture of bread pudding?
Could you tell me if it is supposed to be 1/2 CUP brown sugar or 1/2 TBSP of brown sugar or what? It wasn’t clear either here or in the original recipe…
We loved this! I halved the recipe and used a deep dish pie plate, turned out great, thank-you!
great to see your site is back up today, when your post didn’t work yesterday I was worried something unfortunate might have happenend.

We are not really German Pancake fans but the apples made all the difference. We loved these!
We had this for breakfast this morning and is was great! It was nice to have something a little different from our normal breakfst routine. I can’t wait to make this again. Thanks for the yummy recipe!
