Ingredients
  

Pancakes
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 2 eggs large
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peeled and diced apples

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Skillet or griddle
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Peel, core, and dice the apples. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar.
  2. In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  3. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Fold in the diced apples carefully.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear and edges look set, 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter. Stack pancakes on a plate, top with butter and maple syrup, sprinkle with cinnamon.

Notes

Store leftovers in airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze individual pancakes for later.
