Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 1 piece Large egg
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for cooking apples)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or additional butter (for greasing pan)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking gently until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are okay. Set the batter aside to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4

In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 5

Sprinkle the apples with the brown sugar and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until caramelized and golden. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 6

Gently fold the caramelized apples into the pancake batter.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 8

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set.

Step 9

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 11

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
