Creating Apple Cinnamon Pancakes can be an enjoyable experience if you follow these simple steps:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg, then add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is combined.
3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. Some lumps are okay!
4. Add Apples: Gently fold the diced apples into the batter.
5. Heat the Pan: Heat a griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface.
7. Flip the Pancakes: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Keep Warm: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you finish cooking the remaining pancakes.
9. Serve Immediately: Stack the pancakes and serve them warm with syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.

These simple steps will lead you to create fluffy, delightful Apple Cinnamon Pancakes that everyone will rave about!
