4. Pour spoonfuls of the batter into each crater of the pan, filling them up to about 3/4 full.

5. Cover the pan and let the Appe cook for 2-3 minutes on medium heat until the bottom turns golden brown.

6. Using a spoon, gently flip each Appe over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden brown and crispy.
