5. Layer: Spread half the batter in the pan. Arrange half the apples evenly. Repeat with remaining batter and apples. (For flair, fan apple slices on top.)

6. Bake: 40–50 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

7. Cool & Serve: Let rest 15 minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar.

Tips for Success

✔ Apples: Use firm varieties to prevent mushiness.
✔ Batter: Room-temperature ingredients blend easier.
✔ Texture: Cool slightly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
