Apple Pancake

Big Green Egg

Apple pancake can be served with maple syrup or crème fraîche, but this recipe is so yummy that all it really needs is a dusting of confectioners’ sugar, a knife and a fork! This can be served as a sweet accompaniment to a savory breakfast, or as a dessert with your favorite ice cream or caramel sauce.
