Puffy Apple Pancakes

Chef Ryley's Note:

This recipe is great for a sunday morning breakfast. And unless you are a fast cooker you don't need to pre-heat the oven untilstep 2 or 3. P.S. happy cooking P.S.S. 6 granny smith apples are advised but I use 7 or sometimes 8. You also don't need to use granny smith apples I just do because then it is sour and sweet.
