Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 large egg
• 1.25 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter
• 0 maple syrup or powdered sugar (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is smooth. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the pancakes dense.

Step 4

Fold the diced apple into the batter, ensuring the pieces are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of vegetable oil or butter to lightly grease the surface.

Step 6

Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to spread the batter slightly, if needed.

Step 7

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as necessary between batches.

Step 9

Serve warm, topped with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy with family and loved ones!
