1 cup flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg 1 cup milk

Gently fold in the sliced apples.
Heat the skillet over a medium heat.
You can tell if your skillet or griddle is hot enough by flicking a drop or two of water on its surface. The water should skitter around and quickly evaporate if the pan is hot enough.
Spoon the batter into hot oiled skillet, allowing about 3 tablespoons per pancake.
Cook pancakes for about 1½-2 minutes.
You will know your pancakes are ready to be turned over when large bubbles form on the uncooked surface.
Flip the pancakes and cook for about 1½ minutes on the other side.
Serve immediately or keep warm on a baking sheet in a 200° F oven until all pancakes are cooked.
