Servings: 4

1 Lemon
5-6 Tbsp sugar + sugar for sprinkling
1 package Vanilla sugar
1 kg Apples
1 Onion
1 kg floury potatoes (e.g. Bintje)
2 Eggs (Gr. M)
3 tablespoons (50 g) Flour
7-10 Tbsp Salt
4 TABLESPOONS clarified butter

Directions

1
Halve the lemon and squeeze it. Put lemon juice, 1/8 l water, 5 tablespoons sugar and vanilla sugar in a pot. Peel, quarter, core and cut apples into small cubes.
2
Boil apples in lemon water. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until the apples are mushy. Mash them even more finely with a potato masher and sweeten if necessary.
3
Peel onion and potatoes. Wash the potatoes. Grate potatoes finely in a bowl. Add the onion. Add eggs, flour and about 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix well.
4
Heat 1 tbsp. clarified butter in a large pan and fry approx. 3 potato pancakes at the same time. For this purpose, put 2-3 tbsp. potato mixture per potato fritter in the pan and flatten it with a tablespoon.
5
Fry over medium heat - so that they do not burn - for about 3 minutes until the underside is golden yellow. Turn and bake for another 3-4 minutes. Bake 9 more pieces from the remaining potato mixture and lard.
6
Warm the finished potato pancakes in a hot oven (approx. 50°C). Sprinkle each potato pancake with sugar and serve with apple sauce. If you like, you can also eat them with sugar beet syrup on brown bread.
