Carrot and apple pancakes

4 servings

30 minutes

Carrot-apple pancakes are tender, aromatic, and slightly sweet cakes that have become a favorite dish in Russian cuisine. Their origin traces back to traditional village baking recipes where simple and accessible ingredients were transformed into hearty treats. Bright carrots give the pancakes a rich color and natural sweetness, while apples add freshness and a hint of tartness. The combination of fruits and vegetables makes the dish light yet nutritious. They can be served as a standalone dish with sour cream or honey, or used as a side for meat or fish dishes. The crispy crust outside and soft, juicy texture inside make these pancakes perfect for breakfast or a cozy family tea time.
