Pfannekuchen is German for "pancake" but they're really different than the fluffy American-style ones. They're basically big, thin crepes and are sooo delicious! I used to top mine with apple sauce and plenty of powdered sugar. In case you can't buy apple sauce or want to make your own, I included how do make it here. Besides apple sauce, some people eat these with fruit, jam, or nutella too ;)

Background: My Oma (German for "grandma") used to make these for breakfast for me when I'd visit her in Germany. They were so different then the American pancakes I was always eating in the US!
