Ingredients

For the blackberry and apple filling

2 apples peeled, cored and cut into wedges
75 g blackberries fresh or frozen
1 teaspoon lemon juice
0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoon caster sugar

For the pancake batter

200 g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoon caster sugar
425 ml plant milk e.g. soy milk or oat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
15 g vegan butter melted
1 tablespoon vegetable oil for cooking

Instructions

To make the blackberry and apple filling

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the apples, blackberries, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
Stir occasionally and cook for 10-15 minutes until the apples are tender and the blackberries have broken down into a syrupy consistency.
Add a tablespoon of water if needed to prevent sticking.

To make the pancakes (while the compote is cooking)

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and sugar.
In a separate jug, mix the soy milk, vanilla extract and melted butter.
Slowly pour these wet ingredients into the flour, first to create a paste and then adding slowly to make a smooth, thin batter.
Once all of the ingredients are combined mix well to ensure the batter is completely smooth and to create little air bubbles.
Brush your pan with a little oil and then heat on a medium heat.
Hold your hand a few centimetres away from the pan to see if it is hot. Once you can feel the heat, pour over some of the batter and swirl it around the pan until you have a thin circle.
Cook until the underside is golden underneath then flip it to cook it on the other side.
Serve with the blackberry and apple filling.
