Instructions

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add Apples: Fold the chopped apples evenly into the batter.
Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Serve Warm: Remove from the pan and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra flavor, use a mix of sweet apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp. Keep heat at medium-low to prevent burning. These pancakes freeze well and can be reheated in a toaster or skillet for best texture.
