Allow batter to rest for 10 minutes for a fluffier texture.
Preparing the Apple Filling
Melt butter
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Sauté apples
Add sliced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon; sauté until apples are soft but not mushy, about 8 minutes.
Ensure apples are cooked evenly to prevent burning.
