How to Make Warm & Fluffy Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

• In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and granulated sugar until everything is well combined.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the large egg, milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
• Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
• Carefully fold in the diced apple, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
• Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes to enhance the fluffiness of your pancakes.
• Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles on contact.
• Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle, cooking until bubbles form on the surface, then flip them over.
• Cook the second side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
• Transfer pancakes to an oven set to low heat to keep them warm while cooking the remaining batter.
• Serve with optional toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
