Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.
Fold in the diced apple pieces until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the apple pancakes cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the pan.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
