1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together coconut sugar, cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ginger, and cardamom.
3. Drizzle coconut oil over parchment paper. Line the baking sheet with sliced apples, layering them so each one lays slightly over the next.
4. Sprinkle with sugar spice mixture and bake for 20-25 minutes or until apples look soft and tender.
5. Before you pull the apples out of the oven, prepare your pancake batter.
6. Whisk eggs, oil and water in a medium bowl.
7. Add full pouch of pancake + waffle mix and the ginger and nutmeg. Whisk until combined.
8. Pour over the apples and evenly distribute the batter. Bake for 10 minutes.
9. Let cool for five minutes before serving.
10. Flip each slice over to reveal the apple topping. Alternatively, using a large cutting board, carefully flip the full sheet over on top of the board, peel back the parchment paper and serve.
11. Top with yogurt, maple syrup or your favorite pancake topping!
