Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup apple butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¾ cup apple, grated (one medium apple)

Instructions

  • Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk together until well combined.
    1 cup all purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt
  • Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Set aside to cool slightly (you don't want it hot enough to cook the egg).
    2 tablespoons butter
  • In a large measuring cup, mix the melted butter, milk, apple butter, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and the egg and apple butter are fully incorporated.
    ½ cup milk, ¼ cup apple butter, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a whisk until just combined. Don't overmix - a few lumps are okay!
  • Use a box grater and grate the apple (peeling is optional) directly into the batter. Gently fold the grated apple into the batter until evenly distributed.
    ¾ cup apple, grated
  • Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  • Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Stack the warm pancakes and serve with maple syrup and an extra dollop of apple butter on top.
