A generous pinch of saffron threads
1/4 cup warm water
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Pancake Batter:

1 cup spelt flour or whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
2 large eggs
1 cup organic milk or almond milk
2 tablespoons melted ghee or coconut oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

For Serving:

Powdered coconut sugar for dusting

Instructions

Prep the Saffron-Infused Apples:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Steep the saffron threads in warm water for about 10 minutes to release their color and flavor.
In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with the saffron infusion, maple syrup or honey, and cinnamon. Set aside for the flavors to meld.

Make the Pancake Batter:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted ghee, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until just combined.

Assemble the Pancake:

Grease the skillet or baking dish with a bit of ghee.
Pour the pancake batter into the skillet.
Arrange the saffron-infused apple slices on top of the batter in a floral pattern, starting from the center and working outward.

Bake the Pancake:

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is set and the edges are golden brown.

Serve:

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Dust with powdered coconut sugar and garnish with edible flowers.
Serve warm, cutting into wedges to showcase the beautiful saffron apple arrangement.
