Jersey Apple and Cinnamon Pancakes with Maple Syrup

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and sugar.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Fold in the diced Jersey apple.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.

Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set.

Serve immediately with maple syrup.
