Thick Pancakes with Spiced Apple

For the pancakes: place all the ingredients apart from the oil into a bowl and whisk using an electric hand whisk until smooth.
Heat a little oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and pour in a ladleful of batter. Heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until puffed and golden brown. Repeat until you have used all the batter.
For the spiced apple: melt the butter in a saucepan over a low-medium heat. Add the apples, sugar, cinnamon, mixed spice and sultanas. Cook gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples are soft but do not start to break down. Set aside to cool.
To serve, stack the pancakes and top with a spoonful of apple and a dollop of crème fraȋche.
