How to Make Apple Pecan Pancakes

1. Peel and dice 1 medium apple. Cook diced apples with 1/4 cup water in a saucepan over medium heat until just barely softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups milk, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
5. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped pecans and the cooked apples.
7. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large frying pan over medium heat.
8. Pour 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
9. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface.
10. Serve immediately with whipped cream and a sprinkle of extra pecans (optional).
