Start by peeling, coring, and grating the apple. Use a grater with large holes so that the grated apple retains its texture when mixed into the batter.

Set the grated apple aside while you prepare the pancake batter.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined. The sugar will add sweetness to the pancakes, while the salt enhances the flavor.

Add the 150 grams (5.23 oz) of yogurt to the egg mixture. You can use plain yogurt for a more neutral flavor, or choose a flavored yogurt, like vanilla or apple, to complement the apple in the recipe. Stir until smooth and well mixed.

Gradually sift in the 140 grams (4.93 oz) of flour and the 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth. The consistency should be thick but pourable.

Gently fold the grated apple into the pancake batter. The apple will add moisture and a sweet, fruity flavor to the pancakes.

Be careful not to overmix the batter at this stage. Folding the apples in gently ensures the batter stays light and fluffy.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and let it warm up. You can also use butter for frying if you prefer a richer flavor.

Once the skillet is hot, reduce the heat to medium-low to prevent the pancakes from burning before they are cooked through.

Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into a circular shape.

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. You’ll know they’re ready to flip when bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set.

Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

Once all the pancakes are cooked, transfer them to a plate and serve warm.

These apple yogurt pancakes can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings such as maple syrup, honey, powdered sugar, or a dollop of extra yogurt. You can also add fresh fruit, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
