Sift together the dry ingredients in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients except the melted butter.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Stir in the melted butter, followed by the diced apple, and mix gently until smooth.
Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat and grease it with butter.
Pour batter onto the griddle to form pancakes of your desired size.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with Apple and Brown Sugar Syrup for a delicious finish.
