Sift dry ingredients flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl and add salt, cinnamon powder, and a dash of nutmeg powder.

Add eggs, melted butter (cooled down a little), buttermilk, vanilla extract, and brown sugar in another bowl. Whisk well until the sugar is melted.

Pour wet ingredients into a dry ingredients bowl, and mix gently with a rubber spatula until all dry ingredients are incorporated with wet ingredients. DO NOT overwork the batter. It’s okay to have some lumps in the batter.

Peel and grate apples directly over the batter. Discard the core.

Gently fold the apples into the batter making sure not to over mix.

Preheat a griddle or frying pan on medium heat. Grease the pan with vegetable oil.

Pour batter in ¼ cup-sized scoops or a ladle. Cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles appear across the surface of the pancakes.

Carefully flip and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove from pan and repeat with the rest of the batter.

Serve apple pancakes warm topped with sweet gooey warm cinnamon apples and a generous serving of maple syrup over the top.
