Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Give it a good whisk to blend everything together smoothly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to form a thick batter. And don’t forget to fold in those delicious diced apples! This step is essential because the apples add that wonderful texture and burst of flavor. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
