In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, a sprinkle of salt, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.

In another bowl, beat 1 large egg, then add ¾ cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together.

Carefully pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry mixture. Gently fold them together with a spatula.

Peel and dice a medium apple into small chunks and gently fold them into the pancake batter.

Allow the batter to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

Preheat a lightly greased non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

Pour approximately ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.

Once you see bubbles forming and the edges look dry, carefully flip each pancake and cook until golden brown.

After cooking, stack the warm pancakes on a serving plate and serve garnished with your favorite toppings.
