1/2 c. flour
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt

4 Granny Smith or Gala apples - cored, peeled, cut into 1/4" slices and tossed with 1 tsp lemon juice

Preheat oven to 425 F. Put flour, granulated sugar, salt, eggs, half and half and vanilla into a blender and blend until smooth. In 10" ovenproof pan melt butter with brown sugar and spices. Add apples and saute until caramelized and brown, at least 10 minutes. The apples will first release a lot of juice. It is only after the juice is reduced that the apples will caramelize. Pour batter over top of the apples and pop into the oven. Bake for about 15 - 18 min.Top will be light brown and puffed. Serve dusted with icing sugar.
