Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together four organic eggs until frothy, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until tender and caramelized.
  4. Carefully pour the prepared batter over the caramelized apples in the skillet.
  5. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until puffed up and golden brown.
  6. Let the pancake cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with powdered sugar or maple syrup.
