This post is guaranteed to make you laugh before you go enjoy this delicious recipe. You see, I made a mistake. This German apple pancake has been the most popular recipe on our website for a LONG TIME. I am talking over 1 million pins on Pinterest and lots and lots of people making it. Sounds amazing right? Well, it would be, if the post hadn’t accidentally been deleted 18 months ago…….. and it took me that long to figure it out.
Paleo German Apple Pancake
So given that mistake, and in the spirit of getting this post back up for you as soon as possible, I am going to give you a little laugh. Rather than me share some new humor or attempt to, I am going to feature the original blog post I wrote for this recipe. Strap yourself in, because this will be a fun ride.
Without further ado, here is your laugh:
So you aren’t going to get your typical Sunday morning, almond milk latte hyped up blog post this morning. Instead, I am going to spare you the long read and let you get straight to this deliciousness that has been requested. I will, however, give you a short summary of my day because I just wouldn’t feel right not talking for a minute. Snapshot, ready GO. Drank too much wine last night, slept like shit, went to the coffee shop this morning, didn’t feel like blogging, only had one latte, came home, and some bacon, went Merry Maid on my house for 3 hours, ate some more bacon with eggs this time, continued to scrub toilets and wash floors and do laundry, ate the last of the bacon, finished cleaning and felt better. Now I am writing this to you while I have some contraption in the oven that hopefully turns out well and that will be up for a vote soon ;). If its good, I plan on eating way more than I should, sitting on my couch, and doing nothing until bedtime to wake up at that lovely hour of 0430 tomorrow to start my week. That’s all. Now that I blabbed, let’s just get to the recipe.
Wow, I was such a prolific writer with awesome thoughts to share. Good news is, the recipe turned out great 7 years ago and people have been loving it since. Well, as long as they were able to find it until we accidentally deleted it. It’s back now, and ready to enjoy again. If you have made it in the past, please comment again so we can let others know about the secrets of this German apple pancake. If it’s your first time, thank you for being here and I would still love to hear your thoughts.

Excellent. I used 8 oz. ramekins. Next time I’ll use more maple syrup in the recipe or lightly drizzle over the top. Also baked 10 min. less. I would post a pic–beautiful.
Worked perfectly as written and my family loved it! Thanks for posting it!
George,
Have you verified that these are the correct proportions? Is it maybe supposed to have 1/2 c of nut flour in addition to what’s listed?
Should have listened to the bad reviews. Coconut flour doesn’t even do what the photo shows. Missing ingredient? Mine have no levity and also didn’t cook inside. I’d guess the coconut flour ratio is wrong. What a waste of time and ingredients.
This recipe was fantastic. So delish! Just the right amount of sweetness. I however did not use the ramekins, instead I used a 10” round tart dish. I also greased the dish. I will be making this again. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I followed it to a tee!!

I don’t know why I continue to try to make paleo recipes (I’m not even paleo lol) because I always just end up wasting a lot of ingredients when the recipe doesn’t work. :( This looked so easy and I’m not new at all to gluten free/grain free baking, but it was a flop. Surely there was supposed to be more coconut flour? I followed the recipe exactly and it basically just turned into a bowl of baked egg with apples mixed in.
What can I use if I don’t have ramikens?
Your apple pancake is perfect. I will try this and share my feedback with you. Thank you for the lovely recipes!
can I make this in another type of baking pan?
I made these this morning and followed your recipe exactly but they didn’t turn out like yours. Are you sure it’s only 1/4 cup coconut flour? It seems like it wasn’t enough flour.
How large are the ramekins you use for this recipe?
They are standard size, I think 3 or 4 inches
