FAQs

Q: Can I use Greek yogurt?
A: Yes. Greek yogurt works well but may make the batter thicker. Add a little milk if needed.

Q: Do I need to peel the apple?
A: Peeling is optional. Leave the peel on for more texture and color, or peel if you prefer a softer bite.

Q: Can I make the batter ahead?
A: You can mix the dry and wet parts separately and combine them a short time before cooking. Do not sit more than an hour, or the baking soda may lose some lift.

Q: How do I know when to flip?
A: Flip when small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
