Apple pancakes with lemon zest are a tender and fragrant dessert that embodies the coziness of home breakfasts. Their roots trace back to European cuisine, where the combination of fruity notes with subtle citrus accents has long been valued in baking. Apple sauce gives the batter natural sweetness and juiciness, while lemon zest refreshes the flavor, making it slightly tangy. These pancakes turn out soft inside and slightly crispy outside, especially when fried to a golden crust. They pair perfectly with honey, sour cream or berry sauces and can also serve as a wonderful complement to morning coffee or tea. Due to the simplicity of ingredients and ease of preparation, this recipe will become a favorite for both festive breakfasts and cozy family evenings.
