Amish Baked Apple Pancakes

By request, here is the recipe I use for Baked Apple Pancakes

Amish Baked Apple Pancakes
Ingredients: 1/4 cup (1/2 stick/2 oz./56g) butter

1 Golden Delicious or Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and cut into thin slices (I often use some of my canned apple pie filling in place of fresh apples, saves some time and adds a bit more flavor)
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Instructions:

preheat oven to 450 degrees F/230 degrees C.
Melt butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over moderate heat, put 2 tablespoons to a mixing bowl. Add apple slices to skillet and cook, turning over once, until beginning to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. While apple is cooking, add milk, flour, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt to butter in mixing bowl and blend until smooth. I use a whisk.
Pour batter over apple and transfer skillet to oven.
Bake in preheated oven until pancake is puffed and golden, about 15 minutes.
Dust with confectioners sugar or add a bit of maple syrup, then serve immediately.
Makes 2-4 servings.
Note: in order to get a nice looking pancake that puffs up on the sides, make certain the skillet is hot when you add the batter !
