Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 12 minutes
Total time: 22 minutes
Servings: 2-3

Ingredients:
- 1 large apple (preferably a sweet apple, like Golden Delicious or Fuji)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/3 cup flour
- A pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
- Powdered sugar for decoration

Instructions:

1. Start by preparing the ingredients. Peel the apple and slice it thinly. This will add a crunchy texture and natural sweetness to your pancake.

2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. These dry ingredients are the perfect base for your batter.

3. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix everything with a whisk or wooden spoon until you achieve a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps; a smooth batter will lead to a fluffy pancake.

4. In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the apple slices and sprinkle two tablespoons of sugar over them. Let them caramelize for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently so they don't break.

5. Once the apples have softened slightly and started to turn golden, pour the pancake batter over the apples. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook on low heat for 10-12 minutes. The cover helps retain moisture and ensures even cooking of the pancake.

6. When the time is up, remove the lid and check if the pancake is golden on one side. Use a spatula to loosen the edges of the pancake from the skillet, then carefully flip the pancake onto a plate or serving platter.

7. For an elegant finish, dust powdered sugar over the pancake, giving it a special look. You can also add some fresh apple slices for decoration if desired.

Serving:
This Mega Pancake with Apples is perfect as a dessert or snack. It can be enjoyed plain or with a drizzle of maple syrup, Greek yogurt, or vanilla ice cream to enhance the flavor.

Practical tips:
