Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour
¼ cup baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 eggs
2 cups milk
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 large apple - peeled, cored and diced
1 cup butter
1 cup dark brown sugar

Steps:

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Pour in the milk, eggs and oil; stir just until smooth. Mix in the apple.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Coat with cooking spray. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip and cook until browned on the other side.
