In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and ground cinnamon.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter and egg.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the chopped apples, brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix until the apples are coated.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Grease the skillet with butter or oil.

Drop 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet and top with a scoop of the apple mixture.

Cook the pancakes until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown.

Repeat with remaining batter and apple mixture.

Serve pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup.
