I was looking for a way to use as much discard as possible. (There is a limit of how many pancake I can eat on a diet.)

I tried This recipe for the first time. And of course I can't leave instructions all alone, so:
Divided by 1.8 so it fits in a 9x9. Instead of cinnamon, I used pumpkin spice.
And added 0.25 tsp baking powder also.
And added about 160g discard with 5g of cornstarch added.

It isn't too sweet, could use a bit more salt (at least to my taste). I guess if you make some cinnamon roll icing that would go really well with it.

I believe it will freeze very well.

Edit #3: I'm done witb editing. Happy with the end results.

What a great idea! I'm going to have a bunch of apples and I always have discard.

Do you already know this recipe for sourdough cookies? It has become my go to recipe for left over discard. I'm going to try the cake in autumn when the apple harvest begins!

I will look into it, thank you for the recipe!
My next try is going to be discard pretzel bites from the same website as this apple cake.
