Ingredients

• 2 medium Apples
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for cooking)
• 0 Powdered sugar (for topping, optional)
• 0 Maple syrup (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and core the apples. Slice them into rings approximately 1/4-inch thick, then set them aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until there are no lumps. Avoid overmixing to ensure the batter stays light and fluffy.

Step 5

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with vegetable oil.

Step 6

Dip each apple ring into the pancake batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off before placing the apple ring onto the hot skillet.

Step 7

Cook the apple rings for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the pancake coating is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked apple ring pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining apple slices, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve the apple ring pancakes warm, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup if desired.
