Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large apple peeled and diced or grated
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Peel and dice or grate one large apple. Set aside.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Whisk well.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1 ¼ cups milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Combine wet and dry: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Add apples: Fold in the diced or grated apple into the pancake batter.
- Cook pancakes: Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes and top with butter, maple syrup, and extra apple slices if desired. Enjoy!
