Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 medium fresh apple, peeled and chopped (about 1 cup)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined for a consistent batter.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg with milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract, making sure everything is smoothly blended.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix just until combined—some lumps are okay! Avoid over-mixing to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
  4. Fold in Apples: Gently fold the chopped fresh apples into the batter, distributing them evenly but handling gently to prevent bruising.
  5. Cook on a Griddle: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve Warm: Transfer pancakes to plates and serve immediately with your favorite toppings for the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use eggs and milk at room temperature for smoother batter consistency.
  • Stir batter just until combined to maintain fluffiness—don’t over-mix.
  • Choose crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for freshness and texture.
  • Preheat your pan properly, ensuring it’s hot but not smoking to prevent burning.
  • Flip pancakes only once with a light hand to ensure even cooking and fluffiness.
