Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Apple, peeled and finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Butter, for cooking
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.
Gently fold the finely diced apple into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet with more butter as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, stacked high, and drizzled with maple syrup. Optionally, garnish with additional apple slices or a dusting of powdered sugar.
