Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch ground cloves
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and finely diced)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for filling)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for cooking)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 0 maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced apple, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5–7 minutes or until the apples are soft and syrupy. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Heat an ebelskiver pan over medium heat and lightly grease each well with a small amount of butter.

Step 6

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the pancake batter into each well of the pan.

Step 7

Add about 1 teaspoon of the spiced apple filling to the center of each well, then top with another tablespoon of batter to cover the filling.

Step 8

Cook for 2–3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Use a skewer or fork to carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 2–3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter and apple filling, greasing the pan as needed between batches.

Step 10

Dust the finished ebelskivers with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup, if desired.
