Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg
3/4 cup apple cider
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup diced apples
1 tablespoon butter or neutral oil for cooking
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk egg, apple cider, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. A few lumps are perfectly normal and will steam out as they cook.
Gently fold in the diced apples, distributing them without overworking the batter.
Let the batter rest 5–10 minutes to hydrate the flour and bloom the flavors; while it rests, warm a skillet over medium heat and add a light coating of butter or oil.
For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on top and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more until the second side is golden brown.
Transfer to a warm plate and keep covered loosely if you’re stacking; repeat with remaining batter.
Serve hot with a pat of butter, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkle of extra cinnamon if you like. A few extra apple slices on top make it extra pretty for photos.
Notes
Tender apple cider pancakes with delicate apple bites and a gentle tang from cider—perfect for autumn mornings and cozy weekend brunches.
