Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter

1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped (preferably Granny Smith for tartness)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Maple syrup for serving

Optional: chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay. Fold in the chopped apple.

      Preheat the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a little butter.

        Cook the Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning.

          Assemble the Sandwiches: After cooking all pancakes, take two pancakes for each sandwich. Spread a thin layer of maple syrup between them. For added flavor, you can sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts on the syrup before closing the sandwich.

            Serve Warm: Drizzle extra maple syrup on top of the pancake sandwiches and serve immediately. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra flair.
