In a blender, combine baking mix, milk, 1T sugar, OJ, cinnamon and egg yolks. Blend until all lumps are removed. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until a soft peak is formed and then gradually add the remaining 1T of sugar. Continue to beat until hard peaks are formed.
Fold blended mixture into egg white mixture.
Remove hot skillet from oven and pour batter into the skillet. Add apples to batter. Keep them about ½ inch apart and make sure that the peeled side of the apples is showing.
