Description:

Indulge in the delightful fusion of apples and pancakes with this easy-to-follow recipe. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, these apple pancakes are bound to become a family favorite.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 5 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 cups milk
• 6 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 apple, peeled and diced

Instructions:

1. Sift dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This ensures a smooth and uniform texture for your pancake batter.

2. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, canola oil, and eggs until well combined. The eggs add richness and help bind the ingredients together.

3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes.

4. Fold in apples: Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed. The apples add a sweet and fruity flavor, as well as a pleasant texture to the pancakes.

5. Preheat griddle or skillet: Preheat a lightly coated griddle or skillet over medium heat. You can use cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil to prevent sticking. To test if the griddle is ready, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface. If the drops sizzle and evaporate, it’s time to start cooking.

6. Cook pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Allow the pancakes to cook on the first side until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.

7. Flip and cook: Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Cooking the pancakes on a moderate heat ensures that they cook through evenly without burning.

8. Serve and enjoy: Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a serving plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, honey, or whipped cream. These apple pancakes are best enjoyed fresh off the griddle, so dig in and savor every delicious bite!
