In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add in the milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Gently fold the grated apple into the pancake batter until evenly distributed.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with vegetable oil or butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes carefully 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 apple pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh apple slices, or a dollop of yogurt.
