Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch slices
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 a lemon, juice of
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a medium bowl, beat the 3 eggs and milk until well blended. Add the flour and salt; stir until batter is barely blended (the batter should be slightly lumpy).
In another bowl, toss apple slices with sugar, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and cinnamon.
Melt unsalted butter in a heavy, ovenproof 12-inch cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add apple mixture and saute 4 minutes, or until slightly softened. Spread out apples into an even layer; pour batter over apples.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until pancake is golden brown and puffed.
Sprinkle with the juice of half a lemon and dust with confectioner's sugar. Serve immediately.
