  • Vary the sweetness as per your taste.
  • To make these apple bites you may need any of the following pan: appe pan, appampatra pan, paniyaram pan, puff pancake pan, aebleskiver pan, paniyarakal pan, takoyaki pan, etc. If you do not have any of the following, you can even make mini pancakes from the same batter.
