What each ingredient does

Apple
Adds moisture and sweetness, and bits of fruit that soften as the cakes cook.
Griddle cake batter
Forms the body of the cakes and sets into a light, tender crumb when cooked.

The step that matters

Flip the cakes only once. Turning the cakes repeatedly interrupts the set surface and traps less air, which makes them dense. One flip, once the edges are set and bubbles form, keeps them light and lets the bottom brown evenly.
