Appe

 Appe is a snack you make with Dasa/ Rice Crepes batter .You make it as spicy as possible by adding more chili. You need Appe Pan or Aebleskiver Pan. Non stick and Cast iron versions are available on Amazon. I am using Non-stick Aebleskiver Pan. It’s goes well as a breakfast or afternoon snack.

 It is Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten Free and Dairy Free.
