Apple and caramel pancakes are a true delight of Russian cuisine. Airy, tender pancakes envelop a warm, velvety apple filling soaked in fragrant caramel.

Such pancakes are perfect for a cozy family breakfast or festive tea time. The origins of this recipe trace back to Russian traditions when pancakes symbolized the sun and warmth.
