Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 large egg

1 cup milk

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped

Cooking spray or additional butter for frying

Maple syrup for drizzling

Optional: Whipped cream for a delightful garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until they are thoroughly combined. This will ensure an even distribution of flavors throughout the pancakes.

    Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, crack the large egg and beat it lightly. Then, add in the milk and melted unsalted butter, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

      Merge Wet and Dry Together: Gently pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry mixture. Stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix. Once combined, fold in the finely chopped apple pieces, making sure they are distributed evenly throughout the batter.

        Preheat the Cooking Surface: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with either cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.

          Cook the Pancakes: For each pancake, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet. Allow to cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start forming on the surface of the pancake. Carefully flip it over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain an even cooking temperature.

            Assemble the Pancake Sandwiches: Once all the pancakes are cooked, take two pancakes and stack them together. In between the pancakes, feel free to add your preferred filling, such as cream cheese, sliced apples, or simply enjoy them plain.

              Serve and Enjoy: Drizzle maple syrup generously over the pancake sandwiches. If you're feeling indulgent, add a dollop of whipped cream on top as a finishing touch. Serve immediately while warm for the best experience!
