👩‍🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar.
3️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla until combined.
4️⃣ Combine
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
Stir gently until just combined (do not overmix).
Fold in diced apples.

Drop spoonfuls (about 1/4 cup each) onto baking sheet.
Slightly shape into rough rounds (rustic look is traditional).
Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden and cooked through.

For extra browning, broil 1–2 minutes at the end (watch carefully!).
