30 minApple or crackling mush is old-school German cooking at its simplest, a basic pancake batter that transforms depending on what you top it with.
Mix eggs, flour, milk, and a pinch of salt into a smooth batter, pour it into a greased bread pan, then cover with either sweet apple slices or savory pork cracklings.
Bake until puffed and golden, then finish with sugar for the fruit version or salt for the meat version.
Pro Tips
- Make the batter smooth and lump-free so it bakes evenly without dense spots
- For sweet version, use tart apples like Granny Smith so they don’t turn mushy
- The crackling version is traditional for hearty German breakfasts alongside sausage and dark bread
