Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 medium Apple, peeled, cored, and grated
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or additional butter for cooking

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 medium bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Fold the grated apple into the pancake batter until evenly distributed.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use a spatula to spread the batter into a circle if needed.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
