Oma's Apfel Pfannkuchen
(German Apple Pancakes)

This recipes was shared by a German WWOOFer couple as a part of Kelsey's fieldwork in Central Otago. The recipe was selected because the WWOOFers were travelling over fall and winter in New Zealand and apples were in season. The recipe was also significant because it came from the wife's Oma (grandmother), who had taught it to her as a child.
