German Apple Pancake

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cane sugar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large apples
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup cane sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 375°F degrees. Wash, core and slice each apple into 8 slices. Mix ¼ cup sugar with ½ tsp cinnamon. Sprinkle half the cinnamon sugar over sliced apples and toss to coat.
- Melt the butter in a 9” or 10” oven-proof skillet (cast iron works best). Saute apples until they are just tender. Remove pan from heat and set aside while you make the batter.
- Sift together the flour, 2 tsp sugar and salt. Whisk the eggs, milk and vanilla in a separate larger bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture and beat until smooth.
- Pour the batter over the sautéed apples. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cinnamon sugar and bake for 20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the batter comes out clean.
