Okay, so I'm not an expert in the kitchen. Consequently, I still have a lot of things left to learn about cooking. Can you please tell me why you have to serve the apple bavarian pancakes immediately?

Jessica, I don't remember for sure since I haven't made this recipe in about two years, but I'm pretty sure that it just goes really flat. It's just not very good "leftover". Sorry I'm not more help!
