Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups whole milk
• 2 units large eggs
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 units apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter (for caramelizing apples)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking pancakes)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2–3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

Step 5

In another skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced apples and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the apples and stir until the sugar melts and caramelizes, about 2–3 additional minutes.

Step 6

To serve, stack the warm pancakes and top with the caramelized apples. Optionally, drizzle with maple syrup or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
