Choose the health content that's right for you, and get it delivered right in your inbox
An infinitely changeable recipe, depending purely on what kind of apple is used in the dense whole wheat batter. Apples are full of dietary fiber and phytonutrients, helpful in regulating glucose levels, and have been shown to curb appetite. Try a Granny Smith or Crispin for bright and tart flavors, a Honeycrisp or Cripps for light and sweet, or bolster the nuttiness of wheat with a rich pie apple such as Golden Delicious. Let the integrated batter rest for a few minutes to wake up the mix, and let the cooking batter get bubbly and dry on the edges before flipping. Prep Time: 24 mins Serves: 6

Ingredients
