Add the apple (which has been cut into chunks) and mix for 4 seconds, Speed 5, to grate.

Preheat your frying pan with a little butter over a medium high heat and add tablespoons of the pikelet mixture.
When bubbles begin to appear on the surface of the pikelets, carefully flip them over and cook for a further 30 seconds - 1 minute on the other side before transferring to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Continue until you have used all of the mixture.
Serve these pikelets warm with your choice of toppings.
