The apple cake in a pan is the perfect answer to that unmistakable call of the apple cake, even when turning on the oven is not an option. A simple, quick, and incredibly soft dessert, made with a few ingredients and a common non-stick pan. We had already experimented with a simpler and neutral batter with the cake in a pan, but this time we wanted to ensure we also provided you with true comfort food.
The apple cake in a pan is perfect for breakfast, ideal for an impromptu snack, or as a sweet treat at the end of a meal, this cake will satisfy everyone. Even without an oven, you can still “bake,” or rather, pan-bake, an apple cake that tastes like home, like goodness, like that comfort food that never disappoints.

To prepare the apple cake in a pan, start by pouring eggs with sugar 1 and cinnamon 2 into a bowl. Turn on the beaters and whip for 10 minutes 3.
When the mixture is well-risen, add the oil 4 and then the milk 5 in a thin stream. Turn off the beaters and sift the flour and baking powder directly into the bowl 6.
Turn on the beaters for a moment to mix 7 and set aside for a moment. Cut half an apple into cubes of about 1/2-3/4 inch 8, and with the rest, make wedges about 1/8 inch thick 9.
Pour the apple pieces into the bowl with the batter 10 and mix 11. Grease a pan, with a diameter of 9 1/2 inches on the surface and 8 inches at the base, and let the butter melt by spreading it with a napkin 12.
When the bottom is hot, pour the apple cake batter 13. Arrange the apple slices in a fan: start from the outside 14 and reach the center 15.
Cover with the lid 16 and let it cook on low heat for about 40 minutes 17. Place a pizza plate 18 on the surface (after gently detaching the cake from the edges and base with a spatula).
Flip the cake and gently turn it back into the pan 19 to brown for another 5-10 minutes on low heat with the lid 20. When the apple cake in the pan is cool, dust with powdered sugar as desired and serve 21.
