hi everyone! my name is laurie and i blog over at love, laurie. i am so thrilled that carrie asked me to do a guest post on her blog today! i absolutely love to cook and bake, so i thought that i would share a recipe with you.
for as long as i can remember, my mom has been making this german apple puffed pancake recipe. growing up, it was always one of my favorite things for breakfast, and i would request it for breakfast each year on my birthday. over the year, it became a tradition, and i always looked forward to having my mom's german apple puffed pancake for breakfast on the morning of my birthday. my mom would wake up early and sneak down to the kitchen to start slicing and sauteing the apples. i would then wake up to the amazing aroma of apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar wafting out of the kitchen.
recently, over the last few years, my husband and i have been making this breakfast for special occasions. of course it is never as good as my mom's version because of all of the love that she put into hers in our family kitchen, but it comes pretty darn close.
this pancake isn't a typical pancake at all. it is baked in the oven to become fluffy and light. the delicate fluffy dough supports the slices of apples, while the cinnamon and sugar work together to balance the tartness of the apples. once the pancake has baked and become all golden brown, the top is dusted with powdered sugar, and it is perfect just like that.
(my husband likes to pour maple syrup on his slice, but i alwasy stick to the traditional version with just the powdered sugar dusted on top.)
this breakfast dish holds such a special place in my heart. every time i eat it, i am flooded with such fond memories of my childhood. each bite is like getting a great big warm hug from my mom. it's a comfort food for me, and it's the perfect way to start off a special morning.
