Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
  • 1 pinch ground ginger
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded apple
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
  • 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Method
 

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Combine egg, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, kosher salt, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk until well combined and lightly foamy. Add shredded apple and lemon juice and fold in with a spatula until well combined. Add flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until flour disappears and batter is thick yet spoonable.
  3. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add tablespoonfuls of apple batter to the hot butter and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until apple pancakes spring back to the touch and are browned on the other side, an additional 3 minutes.
  4. Serve and enjoy!
