Ingredients
2–3 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced
2 large eggs
1 cup pancake mix (or self-rising flour)
1–2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
2. Peel and thinly slice the apples to ensure they soften perfectly while baking.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, eggs, pancake mix, and cinnamon.
4. Mix gently until all ingredients are well coated and evenly combined.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
6. Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
7. Allow the cake to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
Use sweet apples like Fuji or Gala for best natural sweetness.
Slice apples thinly for a softer, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor depth.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel for an indulgent twist.
Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat before serving for best texture.
