Prepare the Pancake Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. -
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, milk, and eggs until well combined. -
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix. -
Add Apples, Bacon, and Cheese:
Gently fold in the diced Granny Smith apples, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese into the pancake batter. -
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease with oil or butter. -
Cooking the Pancakes:
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 3-4 minutes. -
Flip and Finish Cooking:
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. -
Keep Warm:
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking the remaining pancakes. -
Serve:
Serve the Apple, Bacon, and Cheddar Pancakes warm, topped with maple syrup or your favorite pancake toppings.
