Apple Skillet Pancakes

NEED:
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoon butter
3 medium apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1/4 cup brown sugar
powdered sugar for dusting
maple syrup, if desired

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F

In the container of a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar and vanilla. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the container to make sure everything is evenly blended. Set aside.
Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a 10-inch nonstick skillet that can go into the oven. When the butter is foamy, add the sliced apples and the brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the apples are tender and beginning to brown. Remove from heat.
Pour the mixture from the blender over the apples in the pan and place the pan into the preheated oven. Immediately reduce the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the batter is browned and slightly puffed. Remove from oven and dust with powdered sugar. Cut into wedges and serve with maple syrup, if desired.
