Divide butter and add a bit to the bottom of each cavity in your muffin tins. Begin preheating oven to 375.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
While oven preheats, chop apples into bite size pieces. Toss with brown sugar and cinnamon, then add to muffin tins. Place muffin tins in preheating oven while you make the batter.
2 medium Granny Smith apples, 2-3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Whisk eggs for 5 minutes until light and frothy. Add milk and salt and whisk to combine. Add flour and whisk until just incorporated.
Remove the muffin tins from the oven with the now slightly baked apples. Pour batter evenly into muffin tins, filling approximately half way.
Place in 375 degree oven and bake for 15-17 minutes until well puffed and lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and from the muffin tins immediately. Serve right away or store (once cooled) in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can freeze these and reheat, as well.
Use ungreased nonstick muffin tins for best results. Once out of the oven, use a thin plastic spatula to run around the edges of the mini apple pancakes before lifting out.
To make these dairy free, swap out the butter for coconut oil and the milk for rice or coconut milk in equal amounts.
