Dice the Granny Smith apples into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on.

Heat a pan over medium heat, add a knob of butter and a dash of olive oil, then add the diced apples and season with sea salt.

Toss the apples and cook until soft.

In a mixing bowl, combine 100 g of plain white flour, 300 mL of full fat milk, and a small pinch of sea salt.

Add 4-5 tablespoons of double cream to the mixture and whisk for a couple of minutes until smooth.

Crack in 2 free range eggs and whisk into the batter.

Pass the batter through a fine sieve for a silky texture, then whisk for another minute until it reaches the consistency of single cream.

Scatter a generous amount of sugar over the softened apples and stir to caramelize.

Pour in a generous glug of Brandy and stir until the alcohol cooks off and a thick syrup forms.

Cook streaky bacon in a large flat-bottomed frying pan until crispy, then remove and clean the pan.

Melt a generous knob of butter in the pan, then ladle in the pancake batter, swirling to cover the bottom.

Cook the pancake for about 1-1.5 minutes until the edges start to come loose and are brown.

Flip the pancake using a plate, then add cream cheese and the cooked bacon on top.

Cook for another minute on the other side until done.

Slide the pancake onto a large plate, scatter over the caramelized apples, drizzle with Canadian maple syrup, and dust with powdered or caster sugar.
