Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup apples, peeled and finely chopped

2 tablespoons melted butter or neutral oil

Butter or oil for cooking the pancakes

Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, extra cinnamon, chopped nuts

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla until smooth and slightly frothy.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined; a few small lumps are fine. Overmixing makes the pancakes dense.
Fold the chopped apples into the batter, ensuring they’re evenly distributed without overworking the mixture.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush with a little butter. Cook 1/4-cup portions of batter, placing apples on top if you want extra apple pockets.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook 1–2 minutes more, until the second side is golden and the pancakes are cooked through.
Keep finished pancakes warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you cook the rest. Serve hot with maple syrup, a dusting of cinnamon sugar, or a dollop of yogurt for a brighter finish.
