I found this on Pinterest from Minnesota Monthly Website... It looks amazing...
Here is the link to the original site: www.minnesotamonthly.com
And here is the recipe!
Recipe via Williams-Sonoma
Serves 2-4
Serves 2-4
- 4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 Golden Delicious apple, cored and cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 c. milk
- 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Confectioners’ sugar for dusting
Preheat an oven to 400ºF. Butter a 10-inch ovenproof braiser or fry pan.
In another fry pan over medium heat, melt 2 Tbs. of the butter. Add the
apple, cinnamon and granulated sugar and sauté, stirring occasionally,
until the apple begins to soften and brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside.
In a bowl, using a whisk, beat the eggs. Add the milk and whisk until
blended. Sift the flour and salt into the egg mixture and whisk until
just blended. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the
remaining 2 Tbs. butter. Add the butter to the egg mixture and whisk
until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and arrange the apple slices
evenly on top. Bake until the pancake is browned and puffed up, 25 to 30
minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

INGREDIENTS
(Serves 1)
(Serves 1)
Pancakes
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- 1 tbsp Dutch processed cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 7 egg whites (a little over ¾ cup)
- ½ cup buttermilk
Cherry Sauce
- 150g cherries, pitted and chopped (about 16 cherries)
- 1 tbsp blue agave nectar
- ¾ cup water
- ½ tsp corn starch mixed with 2 tbsp water
Vanilla Custard
- 2 tbsp 0% fat plain greek yogurt
- ½ scoop vanilla flavored whey protein powder
For the Cherry Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, bring cherries, water, and agave nectar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until cherries start to “melt” and sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and set aside to cool for about 5 minutes, then puree half the sauce in a food processor until smooth.
- Return to the sauce pan and bring back to a boil. Stir in corn starch mixed in water, simmer for 1 minute and turn off the heat.
For the Vanilla « Custard »:
- Mix plain yogurt together with whey protein powder to make vanilla custard. It might look like there is too much powder at first, but it will come together eventually, just keep stirring. Same goes for the “lumpy” feeling. Just let the custard rest for about a minute after mixing and it will become nice and smooth.
For the Pancakes:
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until well combined.
- Spray a non stick panwith cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
- When pan is hot enough, spoon as much or as little pancake batter onto griddle as you want, depending on what size pancake you desire. A little less than ¼ of a cup per pancake will yield about 8 small pancakes. (and a very high tower!)
- Turn pancakes over when tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Transfer to low temp oven to keep them warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.
Assembly
- Start by laying a pancake on the plate, top with a little bit of cherry sauce, followed by a small amount of custard, about half a teaspoon of each.
- Keep building layers like that until you run out of pancakes, or until tower has reached desired height (mine got pretty high!).
- Finish by topping with cherry sauce, vanilla custard and about a teaspoon cacao nibs. Dust lightly with cocoa powder, if desired.
