Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled and finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the milk until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Notes
- Use different apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji for a sweeter flavor.
