Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Apple, peeled and finely diced
• 2 tablespoons Butter, for cooking
• 0 Maple syrup, for serving

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4

Gently fold the finely diced apple into the batter, ensuring even distribution.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.

Step 6

Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet with more butter as needed.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm, stacked high, and drizzled with maple syrup. Optionally, garnish with additional apple slices or a dusting of powdered sugar.
