Puffy Apple Pancakes

Puffy Apple Pancakes

2 large apples (Granny Smith or something tart works best)
1 stick butter
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
Brown sugar for sprinkling, if desired

1. Peel and slice apples (thin slices work best).
2. Melt stick of butter on the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan at 400 degrees
3. Spread apples on melted butter and bake for 5 minutes
4. Mix eggs, milk, flour, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Pour over apples. Sprinkle with brown sugar.
5. Bake for 20-ish minutes until lightly browned and puffed up

Notes: I love puffy apple pancakes!  The apples can be chopped instead of sliced, and it still turns out yummy.  You can even leave the peels on to save time!  If you're in a health kick, substitute whole wheat flour and replace half the sugar with ground flaxseed.  This dish is best served hot immediately after cooking.
