That's what I said after my mother 'confessed' last week LOL. He'd
already had to leave his homeland to move to the Netherlands. So what's
wrong with foreign after that

Common enough in many cultures. So what do you make pastry with, if you
make pastry that is?

Can be eaten any time of the year. Really nice when the apples are
freshly harvested though.

Try this, but I have no idea what you can use instead of wheat flour.
Rice flour won't do it; BTDT and it wasn't pretty...

Appelflappen
(from 'Het Winter Koek Book') my translation

4 large apples
lemon juice
125 g flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
2 dl milk
oil for frying/baking
icing/confectioner's sugar (or anything else you like on you pancakes)

Peel and core the apples. Slice about 1 cm thick. Sprinkle with lemon
juice to prevent discolouration.

Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the milk
gradually, stirring to form a smooth batter. Heat the oil in a suitable
frying pan. Add the sliced apples to the batter and fry/bake until the
pancakes are brown and done.

Eet smakelijk!
