Today let's remember such a familiar and tasty dish as pancakes. How quickly a mountain of such ruddy baked goods disappears, which we flavor with sour cream, jam or honey. Family members, especially children, love breakfasts with this dish. Lush, fluffy pancakes are perfectly prepared with kefir, milk or water, with the addition of yeast or soda.
But if we add apples to the dough, the delicacy turns out incredibly tasty and tender. There are many ways to prepare it, today we will consider only some recipes.
But before you start cooking, you need to know a few simple secrets to ensure that the baked goods turn out fluffy and do not fall off when frying.
Useful tips:
- All ingredients should be at room temperature. If you didn’t have time to take them out of the refrigerator in advance, warm them up a little under running hot water.
- Be sure to sift the flour for the dough through a sieve.
- The dough should be quite thick, then the pancakes will not fall off when frying. Adjust the amount of flour.
- The dough must rest for 20-30 minutes.
- The dough must not be disturbed, i.e. After stirring all the ingredients once, when frying, take it from the edge with a spoon and do not stir again.
- You need to fry pancakes in a large amount of vegetable oil.
Cooking features
The mention of such a dish as pancakes was first recorded in cookbooks of the 16th century. This word referred to thick flat cakes made from sour dough, which were fried in a large amount of oil. Gradually, apples began to be added to their composition. But first, a thin layer of fruit was made in the pancakes between 2 layers of dough (it could be either fresh fruit or jam). Only then did the apples begin to be added in pieces to the dough itself
Today, fruit pancakes are prepared according to the following scheme:
- The dry base is mixed from flour, salt, and sugar. Vanillin, cinnamon, and cocoa are often used to improve the taste and appearance of the treat. To make the pancakes fluffy, yeast, soda, and baking powder are used. Not only wheat flour can be used for the base, but also, for example, rice and corn.
- For the liquid part, dairy or fermented milk products are most often taken. They may already be sour. Less commonly, apple pancakes are prepared in water.
- Fruits are added to the dough last. To do this, they can be crushed with a grater or cut into cubes or bars. In the latter case, apples are more clearly felt in the finished pancakes.
The dough for fruit pancakes should be thick.
It is placed in heated oil and fried on both sides until golden brown. Then you can serve the treat with your favorite sauces.
Traditional option
The main feature of this recipe is a large number of apples and a minimal portion of flour.
The result is very juicy and healthy flatbreads.
Ingredients

Step-by-step cooking process
The cooking process includes several stages:
- The entire number of apples stated in the recipe must be peeled, the core and seeds cut out, and the rest coarsely grated.
- Next, pour all the remaining dry ingredients into the resulting fruit shavings. The amount of sugar can be increased, but you should focus on the sweetness of the apples themselves. In addition, from a large amount of sand, pancakes can begin to stick strongly to the pan.
- The resulting dough should be placed with a large spoon on hot oil and cooked on each side until a light golden brown crust appears. About 2-4 minutes will be enough.
To serve the treat, you can mix sour cream with powdered sugar and cocoa or melted chocolate. You will get a quick and original cream.
Fluffy water pancakes with yeast: recipe with milk
Lush, tender and tasty pancakes are made with milk. But, if there is only one glass of milk, then the dough can be prepared with the addition of water. For this you will need yeast (a tablespoon); 150 ml of drinking water; one full and ¼ cup flour; vegetable oil, a pinch of salt; 30 g sugar.
Cooking method:
- Dissolve yeast, sugar, salt and a tablespoon of flour in ¼ cup of warm milk.

Step-by-step cooking process
The cooking process includes several stages:
- It's worth starting with apples. Fruits need to be thoroughly washed and removed from all excess – peel, core and seeds. The remaining pulp is randomly crushed. You can use a coarse grater for this purpose or simply chop the apples with a sharp knife. In the latter case, it will be possible to preserve the juiciness of the fruit as much as possible.
- After preparing the apples, you can start the dough - for this you need to pour kefir into a bowl. Be sure to preheat the fermented milk product. The main thing is not to bring it to a boil.
- The contents of raw eggs, beaten until light foam, are added to warm kefir. All that remains is to add salt and sugar (the amount of the latter can be adjusted to your taste) and mix all the ingredients thoroughly. You can also use a mixer for whipping.
- At the next stage, you need to pour all the flour, sifted with soda, into the dough in small portions. After each new addition, the components must be thoroughly mixed so that there are no lumps in the mass.
- Chopped fruits are added to the mixture last.
- After mixing, the resulting thick dough must be poured with a spoon onto a heated frying pan with oil and bake the pancakes on both sides until an appetizing golden brown appears.
The finished treat is delicious to try both hot and cold. You can supplement it with any fruit or berry jam.
Recipe for water pancakes with eggs and soda
The cooking process will speed up even more if you use only soda instead of yeast. There is no need to wait 60 minutes, so the dough preparation process will go much faster. It will be ready immediately after mixing all the ingredients.
So, let's prepare pancakes with soda:
- Mix 2 cups of flour with 1 cup of water, adding water gradually and stirring occasionally;

No less tasty, fluffy and soft fruit pancakes are made using yogurt. Soda is also added to them so that the dough rises well when baking in a frying pan.
Ingredients
For the dish you need to take:

Step-by-step cooking process
The cooking process includes several stages:
- First you need to make the dough: place the contents of raw eggs into a large bowl and beat them thoroughly with a whisk/mixer until a fluffy white foam appears. Sugar is also added to the mixture during the process. Its quantity is determined by taste. You can take a little more or a little less granulated sugar.
- You need to pour slightly warmed yogurt into the base of the dough. The easiest way is to pre-send it for 30-40 seconds. in the microwave.
- Then you need to add the remaining dry ingredients from the recipe, except for soda. It is better to add flour in small portions to prevent the formation of lumps.
- Next, you need to add baking soda to the dough, previously extinguished in any convenient way. If the curdled milk is quite sour, then vinegar or lemon juice may not be needed at all. The soda will be extinguished by the fermented milk product itself. You just need to mix the mixture and let it stand for 5-6 minutes.
- The very last thing you need to add to the dough is apples. They are first peeled and the center with the seeds is cut out. The remaining parts need to be grated or cut into small cubes. The latter option will make the fruit more noticeable in the dough.
- The mixture is poured into a heated frying pan with oil using a large spoon. The flatbreads need to be browned on both sides.
It’s delicious to brush the finished pancakes with melted butter on all sides before serving.

Apple rings - the best recipe like grandma's
This delicacy is one of our family's favorites. And it comes from childhood, when my grandmother treated me and my friends to such an extraordinary delicacy. With country sour cream and cherry jam, it seemed that nothing could be tastier in the world. There was no kefir in those days, so my grandmother most likely used yogurt. And there were a lot of apples, so the result was a large mountain of fragrant, golden apple rings.
Apple rings in dough
We will need:
- kefir – 250 ml
- flour - 200 gr.
- apples - 3 pcs.
- eggs - 2 pcs.
- sugar - 1 tbsp. l.
- salt - 0.5 tsp.
- vanilla sugar - 1 tsp.
- soda - 1/2 tsp.
- vegetable oil for frying
Preparation:
For this recipe, it is advisable to select apples that are firmer and more sour. I had an Antonovka. First, use a special device to remove the core with seeds.
Then we cut each apple into rings, which can then be sprinkled with lemon juice so that they do not darken while we prepare the dough.
For the dough, beat the eggs into a bowl, add sugar, vanilla sugar and salt and beat lightly with a whisk until light foam.
Pour kefir into the egg mixture, add sifted flour and soda. Mix everything well so that there are no lumps. The dough should turn out like thick sour cream and should not spread across the pan.
You can bake one “experimental” pancake, and then determine whether there is enough flour or whether you need to add more.
Then dip each ring into the dough on both sides. Make sure that the entire apple is covered with dough. Fry in a heated frying pan in a large amount of vegetable oil on both sides.
We put the pancakes on a plate and invite the family for breakfast.
With sour cream
If you happen to have a whole glass of sour cream on hand that is sour and unsuitable for food without heat treatment, then it can be made the basis of delicious fruit pancakes. Dairy product of any fat content is suitable. The thicker the sour cream, the less flour you will need to add. The main feature of this recipe is that the apples are fried in whole pieces in the dough.
Ingredients
For the dish you need to take:
- sour cream - 1 full glass;
- milk/whey – 60 ml;
- butter fat – 40-45 g;
- egg (large) – 1 pc.;

- baking powder – 1 tsp;
- flour – 170-200 g;
- salt – 1 pinch;
- sweet apples – 2-3 pcs.
Any type of fruit is suitable for this recipe. If the apples turn out to be very sour, you will simply need to increase the amount of sugar.
Step-by-step cooking process
The cooking process includes several stages:
- Apples need to be peeled and cut into slices. Then carefully remove the middle. You can use a special figure cutter for this. There is no need to grind the resulting “washers”. They will be cooked entirely.
- For the dough, you need to melt all the butter stated in the recipe, cool it slightly and combine it with eggs, milk and sour cream, beaten until foamy. After thorough mixing, you can add the remaining dry ingredients to the mixture. You should get a thick, homogeneous dough without lumps.
- You need to pour a small amount of any oil into the frying pan and heat it well. Next, lower the apple “washers” onto it, previously covered with the dough from the previous step. To do this, you just need to dip the fruit pieces into the sour cream mixture and quickly stir them into the frying pan.
- During the frying process, you can gradually pour the dough on top of the “washers”. This will make the pancakes larger. Each one needs to be cooked on 2 sides.
The resulting treat can be turned into an original dessert if you sprinkle the pancakes with powdered sugar, serve with scoops of creamy ice cream and fresh berries to taste.

- You need to add flour and yeast to the milk. After thorough mixing, the mass is covered with cling film or a clean towel and kept warm. It should rise well in about half an hour.
- When the dough is completely ready, you need to add the remaining ingredients to it - these are 2 types of sugar, butter, lightly beaten eggs, salt. After mixing again, it is put back into the heat under a towel/film.
- At this time, you should take care of the apples. They are thoroughly washed and cut into small cubes. If the peel of the fruit is not too hard, it does not need to be peeled. A large grater is also suitable for chopping apples.
- Next, the fruit pieces need to be poured into the already risen dough and put back in a warm place under a film/towel for 20 minutes.
The finished mass is poured into a frying pan in small portions and fried on both sides until golden brown in hot oil. It’s delicious to serve the treat with sour cream and banana cream (for this, sour cream is whipped with ripe bananas and powdered sugar).
How to cook lean pancakes with yeast?
Lenten yeast pancakes are mixed with water, flour, vegetable oil and a pinch of sugar. Even with such a simple food composition, the pancakes turn out very fluffy, appetizing and light. They can be made sweet or savory by adding berries, apples, mushrooms and potatoes to the dough, which allows you to serve them as both a dessert and an appetizer.

Without eggs and milk with water and yeast
Apple pancakes (recipes for quick and tasty recipes allow you to prepare them at home) can include a minimum of ingredients. The treat turns out appetizing even without dairy products and eggs.
Ingredients
For the dish you need to take:

Step-by-step cooking process
The cooking process includes several stages:
- The milk needs to be slightly warmed until it is warm, but not hot. This is convenient to do in a water bath or in the microwave.
- Next, you need to dissolve quick yeast, beet sugar and half the flour in the heated dairy product. The resulting starter should stand in a warm place for at least 35-40 minutes. During this time, it will increase in volume and become covered with a foam cap.
- In a separate bowl you need to combine the rest of the flour and salt. It is advisable to sift these ingredients through the finest sieve.
- When the starter from step 2 is ready, it can be mixed with the dry flour mass. The resulting homogeneous mass must be left warm for at least 50-55 minutes. The longer the dough sits, the softer the pancakes will end up.
- While the mass is “resting” in the warmth, it’s worth taking care of the apples - peeling them and cutting them into neat miniature cubes.
- All that remains is to combine the chopped fruit with the dough, mix and start baking pancakes. They need to be made small and cooked in hot oil on both sides.
Fry the treat over medium heat so as not to dry it out.
Step-by-step recipe description
Place fresh yeast in a container. You can replace it with dry ones, but take half as much.
Add ½ tsp to the yeast. Sahara.
Pour 50 g of warm water.
Leave the dough for 5-7 minutes, the yeast should brew and rise.
Let's start preparing the apple. Cut it into two halves. Sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent it from darkening. Core the apple and rub each half with lemon. Leave it whole for now. Instead of an apple, you can use dried fruits or raisins. They should be washed thoroughly, dried and cut into small pieces. Then be sure to lightly powder with starch.
Sift the flour into a deep bowl.
Add salt, two tablespoons of sugar, and soda on the tip of a knife. Mix all the ingredients.
Slowly pour a glass of warm water and stir immediately.
Add yeast and continue kneading the dough. The result is the consistency of thick sour cream.
Pour in one tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Cover the container with the dough with a towel and leave to rise for 20 minutes. The dough will double in size.
Cut the apple into thin large pieces directly into the dough. If the apple is large, then one half will be enough. Gently fold in the apple from top to bottom. If you use raisins and dried fruits, add them there.
Let the dough rest for another 5 minutes.
Let the frying pan heat up and pour in a large amount of vegetable oil.
Take a glass of cold water, dip a spoon into it, and scoop out the dough. Place the pancakes on the frying pan.
Fry the pancakes over medium heat, cover with a lid and cook until golden brown, then turn over to the other side, adding a little. Also fry until golden brown. The pancakes must be covered with a lid so that the oil does not splatter on the sides and they are completely fried inside.
In this way, fry all the remaining pancakes. If the dough becomes thick, you can add a little vegetable oil.
Place the finished pancakes on a plate lined with a paper towel or napkin.
While they are hot, sprinkle with sugar.

Lush pancakes with apples on kefir - a classic recipe
I can say from myself that if you want fluffy pancakes, then kefir dough is best suited. Cooking does not take much time, and the baked goods invariably turn out fluffy and airy as fluff. Apples add a pleasant sourness, and in the heat of the heat you can eat an enormous amount of this deliciousness.
Lush pancakes with apples according to the classic recipe
We will need:
- kefir - 1 cup (250 ml)
- flour - 1 heaped glass (250 ml)
- apples - 2 - 3 pcs.
- eggs - 1 pc.
- sugar - 1 tbsp. l.
- salt - a pinch
- soda - 0.5 tsp.
- vegetable oil for frying
Preparation:
Beat the egg a little, just whisk for a couple of minutes. Add salt and sugar to the egg mixture.
After this, add kefir. Try to remove kefir from the refrigerator in advance so that it is at room temperature. Now you can add soda. We won’t extinguish it with vinegar; the fermented milk product will do its job itself. Mix all ingredients with a whisk.
It's time to add flour. We first sift it through a sieve to enrich it with oxygen. It turns out that the splendor of the finished pancakes also depends on this. Stir the dough until the lumps disappear.
The consistency of the dough should be like thick sour cream. If it turns out quite liquid and will spread across the pan, then just add a little more flour. On the one hand, the thicker the dough, the fluffier the pancakes. But on the other hand, too much flour “weights” the dish. Try to find a “golden mean” for your recipe, since the amount of flour may be more or less depending on the type of flour and the fat content of kefir.
We will cut the apples into small cubes.
Try to choose sweet and sour apples so that the finished dish has a pleasant sourness.
Add apples to the dough and let it sit for at least 7-10 minutes.
Spoon the dough into a well-heated frying pan with vegetable oil and fry on both sides until a beautiful golden color. Periodically during frying, add vegetable oil to the pan; there should be quite a lot of it.
I hope that the result will please both you and your whole family.
With the addition of semolina
You can make apple pancakes even without adding flour. For example, with semolina. Such a quick and tasty recipe is published below in the article.
Ingredients
For the dish you need to take:
- semolina – 550-600 g;
- beet sugar and sour cream - 1 full glass each;
- apples and eggs – 2 pcs.;
- soda – ½ tsp;
- oil.
Step-by-step cooking process
The cooking process includes several stages:
- First, pour the semolina into the bowl for kneading the dough. Next, the contents of all raw eggs, sand and soda are sent to it.
- The ingredients must be thoroughly mixed together until a homogeneous thick dough is obtained.
- The mixture must be left for about a quarter of an hour. This is necessary for the cereal to swell.
- While the dough is “resting”, you can take care of the apples - peel them of all excess and coarsely grate the rest.
In a preheated frying pan, the pancakes will fry for about 2 minutes. from each side. Semolina cakes cook very quickly, so do not leave them unattended.
With apples and cottage cheese
Adding whipped egg whites to the dough will help you prepare very fluffy and soft pancakes according to this recipe.
Ingredients
For the dish you need to take:
- apple – 1 pc.;
- eggs – 4 pcs.;
- honey - 1 tbsp. l.;
- lemon juice – 1 tsp;
- cinnamon – ¼ tsp;
- salt – 2 pinches;
- oil.
The whites and the mixer with which they will be processed should be cooled in advance.
Step-by-step cooking process
The cooking process includes several stages:
- Apples must be thoroughly washed and peeled. Then process with a grater with the smallest divisions and sprinkle with citrus juice so that they do not darken.
- The eggs need to be divided into components and the whites set aside. Combine the yolks with cottage cheese, cinnamon, honey, salt (half) and grind thoroughly until smooth.
- The mass from the second step must be combined with grated fruit and mixed thoroughly. If the apples turn out to be very juicy, then you must first squeeze the juice out of the resulting shavings.
- The flour is sifted separately. It is advisable to pass it through the finest sieve a couple of times so that the pancakes end up fluffy. After this, the flour is mixed into the dough base.
- Beat the whites with a few drops of citrus juice and salt at maximum mixer speed until stable peaks appear. And then add them to the base of the test. In this case, you need to mix the components exclusively with a spatula or a wide spoon, moving from top to bottom. Otherwise, the proteins can quickly settle.
All that remains is to divide the finished dough into small portions and fry on top and bottom until golden brown. The resulting treat can be sprinkled with coconut flakes on top.

Based on the above recipes, you can create completely new ones by changing the ratio of ingredients, replacing one with another (for example, baking soda with citric acid), adding dried fruits, grated fruits and fruit and berry purees to the dough.
But to ensure that your pancakes always turn out fluffy, you should follow these tips:
- It is better to choose wheat flour and always sift it. You can add buckwheat, corn, and rice to wheat flour.
- The dough should always be thick and elastic (keep its shape well in the pan).
- If fermented milk products are used in the recipe, they should be preheated to room temperature.
- Regardless of whether the dough is yeasted or not, it should “rest” for about thirty minutes at room temperature.
- The dough should not be stirred after kneading.
- Leaving a ladle or spoon in the dough is strictly prohibited!
- It is better to fry pancakes in a cast iron frying pan with a thick bottom.
Using these tips, your pancakes will surely turn out fluffy, porous, easily filled with jam or condensed milk, and delight you and your family with their excellent taste!
Dietary
Apple pancakes (quick and tasty recipes will allow you to prepare a hearty breakfast or a full-fledged snack) can also be dietary. In this case, wheat flour, yeast, and even sugar are not added to their composition.
Ingredients
For the dish you need to take:
- egg (large) – 1 pc.;
- sweet and sour apple – 1 pc.;
- oat flour – 4-4.5 tbsp. l.;
- water – 1/3 cup;
- honey.
Instead of bee honey, you can use other sweeteners. For example, Jerusalem artichoke syrup.
Step-by-step cooking process
The cooking process includes several stages:
- The egg must be beaten in a deep container until foam appears.
- Next, flour is poured into the resulting mass through the finest sieve.
- All that remains is to peel the apple, grate it coarsely and add it to the resulting dough along with water.
- Sweetener is added to the mixture as desired. You can do without it in the dough and spread honey on ready-made pancakes.
The resulting mass is placed in portions with a large spoon onto an oiled frying pan and fried on both sides. Diet pancakes often stick to the pan during baking, so you need to take care of the non-stick coating.
Baked in the oven
To use less fat when preparing fruit pancakes, you can not fry them in a frying pan, but bake them in the oven. It is convenient that they do not need to be turned over.
Ingredients
For the dish you need to take:
- sugar – 1-1.5 tbsp. l.;
- whey – 1 tbsp.;
- egg – 1 pc.;
- flour - 1 full glass;
- soda – 1 pinch;
- oil – 1 tbsp. l.;
- large apples – 3 pcs.
Step-by-step cooking process
The cooking process includes several stages:
- First, you need to pour a large egg into a large bowl and beat it thoroughly along with all the sand.
- Next, you need to add slightly warmed whey to the mass and mix everything thoroughly.
- At the next stage, flour, sifted with soda, is poured into the dough. It is most convenient to mix the ingredients using a blender.
- All that remains is to add butter and apples cut into miniature cubes. Fruits do not need to be peeled first.
The resulting dough should be poured onto a baking sheet covered with oiled baking paper in the form of pancakes. They are baked in the oven at medium temperature for about a quarter of an hour.
Useful tips and tricks
The following tips will always help you prepare delicious apple fritters:
- Quenching it with vinegar or citrus juice will help rid baked goods of the characteristic taste of soda;
