The full recipe card for this delicious recipe is below.

I’ve made the pancake batter from scratch but I’ve also used box pancake mix for this recipe.

If you use store-bought simply follow the directions on the back of the box to make 4 to 6 servings.

That’s usually one cup of pancake mix.

I love Granny Smith apples in this breakfast dish because they’re tart and sweet and hold up well.

I do think the more apples in this delicious pancake recipe the better.

So load up on fresh apples!

This is a great breakfast for weekend and holiday mornings because you can stick it in the oven and it’s done in no time.

It can also stay in a warm oven till you’re ready to eat it.

So put the spatula away and forget about flipping the flap jacks.

This easy iron skillet apple pancake is the way to go.
