| 1/4 cup | all-purpose flour |
| 2 tbsp | sugar |
| 1/4 tsp | salt |
| 2/3 cup | milk |

Instructions
-
Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of confectioners’ sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and set aside.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.
-
Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the milk and eggs to the dry mixture, whisking until smooth and well-combined.
-
Add Fruit: Fold in the sliced apples and raisins, stirring gently to distribute evenly.
-
Heat the Skillet: In a 10-inch non-stick skillet, heat the butter or margarine over medium heat until it just begins to sizzle, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
-
Cook the Batter: Pour the batter into the skillet all at once, avoiding stirring for the first few minutes. Allow it to fry undisturbed, encouraging a nice golden-brown crust to form.
-
Flip for Cooking: Turn the Schmarren carefully when it is golden brown, aiming to break it into large pieces rather than stirring too much.
-
Serve and Garnish: Once cooked through, remove the Apple Schmarren to plates and sprinkle each serving generously with the prepared cinnamon sugar. Adjust the amount of cinnamon sugar according to your taste, saving any leftovers for future use.
-
Serving Suggestion: This recipe yields two small servings, or one larger portion, making it perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.
