In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, and milk.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Gently fold in the applesauce.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.

Pour 2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.

Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Flip the pancakes when bubbles start to form on the surface.

Serve immediately with syrup, blueberry jam, or vanilla ice cream.
