  • Preheat oven 425°.
    Whisk eggs, milk, flour and vanilla, salt and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon until smooth.
  • Melt 2 Tbs. butter in a 10" skillet, over medium heat. Use cast iron, if you have it.
    Add apples and sprinkle with brown sugar and remaining cinnamon. Toss often and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
    Remove apples from pan.
  • Wipe out pan and heat in oven until very hot, about 10 minutes.
    Remove from oven and working carefully and quickly; coat pan with remaining 2 Tbs. butter, tilt so that pan is coated evenly.
    Add apples to center of pan. Pour batter over apples.
    Bake until pancake is puffed and edges are golden brown. The center should be set but still custard like. This is about 1-15 minutes.
