A delicious fall breakfast for my family! A 9" pie plate wasn't enough to feed 5 hungry tummys in my house, so I doubled the recipe and baked it in a 13"x9" greased baking dish. I placed the sliced peeled apples (3) on the bottom of the baking dish, and then brushed them with melted butter. Then instead of using maple syrup, I generously sprinkled brown sugar and cinnamon on them. Last I added the pancake mixture on top of that. So easy! I have even made this recipe the night before and just reheated it for a nice quick breakfast in the morning. I will be making this recipe for years to come!

I'd probably give this 2.5 starts because it was very average. It was something like you might eat in a school cafeteria. However, I think it may have potential as a base recipe that you could play with to make it more flavorful and improve the texture.

This turned out great!!!!!! I had to use canned peaches instead of apples as I am currently living in japan and the apples are $2.50 each!! I also added brown sugar to the bottom of the pie plate and then put the sliced peaches on top of that, then the syrup, and finally the pancake mix! I covered the pan with tin foil and then put it in the toaster oven for 15 minutes ( no ovens over here!!!!) and it came out moist and full of flavor!! A wonderful weekend breakfast for my family!!!!

I made 2 versions. I made one just as stated in the original recipe. And the other, as mentioned in one of the reviews, I "layered." The original recipe was too dry for me, as other people also commented, so i topped it with more syrup. It was pretty good. The layered one (apples, half of the pancake mix, apples, the rest of the pancake mix) was great!!! It wasn't dry and it had a lot of flavor. I didn't need to add any extra syrup at the end either. I did also follow of few of the suggestions other people gave for both versions: I Sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on the apples before layering, I used walnuts instead of pecans, and I used more maple syrup than recipe asked. This recipe was easy, quick, and delicious! I will definitely be making this one again!

Made this for dinner tonight and it was excellent! Easy and quick. I followed a tip from one of the reviewers to mix the cinnamon and maple to the apples which works really well. I mix the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to the apples and then arrange them to the bottom of the pan. Used only 1 tablespoon of butter which is sufficient. Drizzled the final tablespoon of maple syrup after arranging the apples and sprinkle some all spice as well. Finally poured the pancake batter over the apples. Baked for 25 minutes and let it sit for another 5. It turned out perfect. Will definitely make this again and will try with other fruits.

I used two apples, and apple pie spices, also about a cup of raisns. I made this instead of toast, or biscuits. It's kind of like a mild coffee cake.

Very dry. Better off just making regular pancakes.

This recipe is good and my family scarfed down the entire thing in no time, BUT next time I will definitely do two layers of apples since the thick layer of pancake did come out dry. Apples, batter, apples batter. I also tossed my apples in cinnamon before placing them in the dish, which gave it a more even color, I think. Will definitely make this again!

Very tasty! My kids loved it! I did make a few changes based of other reviews, and will make more now that I have tried it once. I doubled the recipe, I do not used packaged mixes, I use the recipe from this site for Fluffy Pancakes with Wheat Germ and Applesauce. I had 2 cups of homemade mix premade so I used that. I whipped the eggs white seperately to add some fluff. I baked it in a cake pan with about double the apples and probably 4 tbps real maple syrup. I also used toasted pecans, 1/2 cup. I also used more milk than called for since some folks had said it was dry. I think, in my case, it felt dry because my mix fluffs so thick that the gooey goodness only gets on a small area of the cake. Next time I am going to put the apple layer in the bottom of the pan, pour 1/2 the batter on and then put another layer of apple mix on topping with the last of the batter. It looks marvelous out of the pan. Will make again for sure!

Not bad. I feel as if it's missing an ingredient, but now that I've realized I missed the boat on the maple syrup (don't have any--was going to add maple flavoring but forgot) I suppose that could be it. I do think, however, that a caramel bottom would be really good and add to the flavor--just add brown sugar on top of the melted butter like you would do for a pineapple upside down cake. I also added chopped apple and pumpkin pie spice to the pancake batter, which I liked. Thanks for the recipe!

It's gets a 2 for being edible. I followed the directions exactly, and it came out really dry. Wouldn't recommend or make again.

Scrumdiddlyumcious! I don't know the spelling but i know this is fabulous. My husband and I stayed at the Blue Gull inn in Port Townsend,WA and this delicious treat was on the breakfast menu. The chef added blueberries as well...I would highly recommend it to all who. Perfect for brunch with friends and family or just enjoying it with the family on a weekend. I didn't think it was too dry. I didn't add syrup before eating it either like some would like. I enjoyed it the way it was. I asked for the recipie (which I figured was a secret) and found out it was from here. So thank you to the one who submitted it.

This was really good! It reminded me of coffee cake. I couldn't get to my pie plate so I used an 8x8 baking dish and it worked fine.

This was a great way to use up that box of pancake mix that's been in my pantry forever. If you are worried about the batter being dry, I shredded 1 medium apple into the batter and it made it so moist and delicious. I also used cinnamon sugar rather than plain cinnamon. I didn't have nuts, but tasted great anyways!
