- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 apple, peeled and finely chopped
- a couple of tbsp butter for the pan
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Tip: Overmixing leads to tough flapjacks, so a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the chopped apple.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter.
- Once the butter is melted and bubbly, pour 1/4 cup of batter for each flapjack into the pan.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Tip: Wait for those bubbles before flipping to ensure they’re perfectly golden.
- Flip the flapjacks and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed. Tip: Keep cooked flapjacks warm in a 200°F oven while you finish the batch.
Melt-in-your-mouth tender with pockets of soft apple and a hint of spice, these flapjacks are best served stacked high with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
