Prepare the apples

• Peel the apples, remove the cores and grate them coarsely.
• Set aside.

Make the batter

• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt.
• In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, melted butter and vanilla extract.
• Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
• Fold in the grated apples.

Rest the batter

• Let the batter rest so the flour hydrates and the pancakes turn out fluffy.

Cook the pancakes

• Heat a lightly buttered frying pan over medium heat.
• Pour small ladles of batter into the pan and spread slightly.
• Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden.

Serve

• Stack the pancakes and serve warm with maple syrup, extra apple slices or a knob of butter.
