In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.
Fold the diced apple chunks into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with a small amount of vegetable oil or butter.
Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Space them apart to allow room for spreading.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream.
