Japanese Apple Cake: A Heavenly 5-Minute Dessert Sensation

Prepare the Apples:
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. Aim for slices about 1/8 inch thick.
Make the Batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine and Layer:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined.
In a loaf pan (about 9×5 inches), arrange a single layer of apple slices.
Pour a thin layer of batter over the apples.
