This is a recipe for a fluffy apple cake that can be easily made in a frying pan using pancake mix. Cut the apples into two portions, one for decoration and one for the batter, and simmer them in the microwave with sugar until reduced. Mix the apples for the batter into the batter made with eggs, milk, sugar, melted butter, and pancake mix. Arrange the apples for decoration in a lightly oiled frying pan, pour the batter over them, and bake slowly over very low heat. No oven is needed, and you'll have a cute-looking cake that lets you enjoy the sweetness of the apples and the fluffy texture of the batter.
