# Step-by-Step Instructions:

Peel and dice the apples, then toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Fold in the diced apples carefully to avoid overmixing.

Warm the maple syrup and vanilla extract together in a small saucepan over low heat.

Stack pancakes on a plate, drizzle with warm vanilla maple syrup, and serve immediately.
# Extra Tips:

03 -
Use coconut oil as a substitute for butter to make the recipe dairy-free.
