Apple Crisp Ebelskivers marry tender apple filled pancakes with a crunchy oat crisp topping. Drizzle with homemade apple syrup.
Welcome to day two of #AppleWeek! Our apple loving group of food bloggers have put together a week of fabulous recipes along with a generous giveaway from our sponsors!

My First recipe for #AppleWeek is a little Danish pancake ball known as an Ebelskiver. These filled pancake treats traditionally have cooked apples inside.
Ebelskivers are made in a unique pan specially designed to create the puffed balls. I received an Ebelskiver Pan from Nordic Ware to create a new version of these classic pancakes. You can learn more about this cool pan and how to buy one
here.
I chose to make a version of an apple crisp with an oat topping and apple pie filling. I added my homemade apple syrup for extra apple goodness.
You start by brushing the wells with a bit of butter and adding the oat crumb topping. I used Flahavan’s Oatmeal Ireland’s favorite Oatmeal. Taste the difference. Flahavan’s oats are grown and harvested locally in small batches to capture the rich delicious flavor that is original Irish Oatmeal.
Next, add batter then your filling and top with more batter. A gently press on the filling to submerge it a bit before adding more batter.
Small in size but mighty in taste, these pancakes cook very fast. After about 2 minutes or when bottom is golden brown it’s time to flip them.
That’s the fun part. I use a pair of skewers to quickly flip the balls. The second side cooks in about half the time as the first.
Serve these with the apple syrup, your favorite syrup or pancake topping.
Here’s the recipe for Apple Crisp Ebelskivers you can make at home.
