Apple pancakes are a good and exciting breakfast for children. They are quick and easy to make. These are light and fluffy. Apple pancakes can be made in several ways. Here I have sliced the apples and dipped into a cinnamon pancake batter. The crispiness and juiciness of the apple slice inside complements the outer soft fluffy pancake. The saffron sauce will leave you licking your fingers.

Thanks for your interest in this recipe. Yes! You can use regular milk with slight adjustments in the milk measurements to get the required consistency for the batter.
Its a very interesting recipe. Instead of evaporated milk, can I use only milk for the recipe?
My son woud love your pancakes topped with lots of butter and maple syrup!! I have never tried making them with apples so will save your recipe to make these for him.
I am sure your son will love it just as my son loved. It surely tastes awesome.
Neha an innovative pancake recipe where you’ve dipped apple slices. It reminds of the trend that was going on sometime back on apple jalebi. Will have to give this apple pancake recipe a try. However, I think I will serve it with maple syrup.
Maple syrup too will go well with this apple pancake. Do give this pancake a try. Glad that you liked it.
Yum, yum yum. The girls are crazy about pancakes! I was going to ask you about substituting evaporated milk saw your reply below. Will make some. Thanks.
