Apple tarte Tatin

Easy “Apple Tarte Tatin” with a Frying Pan and Hot Cake Mix

Let’s make a delicious-looking apple tarte Tatin! First, mix eggs, milk, and pancake mix to make the batter.

Next, peel the apples, cut them into quarters, then slice each quarter into 5–6 pieces.

That’s the prep done.

Heat butter in a frying pan, and once it melts, add granulated sugar and stir until it turns a caramel color.

When it does, turn off the heat and arrange the apple slices in a radial pattern.

Cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, then pour the batter over the top and cook for another 10 minutes.

Check doneness with a bamboo skewer, and it’s ready.

Enjoy the sweetness of the caramel and the texture of the apples!
