About South Tyrolean Apfelschmarren
Apfelschmarren is a South Tyrolean apple pancake associated with mountain-hut cooking. This traditional recipe from the regional tourism organisation uses an egg-rich batter with milk and cream.
Apples bring fruity sweetness alongside vanilla sugar and rum. Butter enriches the listed ingredients, and the powdered-sugar finish adds a caramelised note.
The pancake is torn into irregular pieces, with a light interior from the beaten egg whites. Powdered sugar covers the finished dish; the source offers cranberry jelly as an accompaniment and specifies warmed serving plates.
