Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peeled and diced apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for sautéing apples)

Instructions

  1. Heat your skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter.
  4. Pour wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
  5. In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté diced apples for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender.
  6. Fold sautéed apples into the pancake batter.
  7. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle.
  8. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Top with syrup, extra apples if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Let batter rest 5–10 minutes before cooking for extra fluffiness.
  • Use a trigger ice cream scoop for evenly sized pancakes.
  • Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F oven until serving.
  • Chop apples small to ensure even distribution and cooking.
