1/4 cup butter, divided

4 eggs

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 medium apples*, peeled and thinly sliced

3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar, divided

Powdered sugar, optional

Preheat oven to 400º F. Divide butter evenly between two 9-inch pie plates and put them in the oven to melt the butter. Rotate the pie plates until the butter coats the bottom and the sides. To make dividing the ingredients between the two plates easier, we used a 4-cup measuring cup as our mixing bowl. Beat eggs, vanilla extract, four, milk and salt on medium speed for one minute. Toss the sliced apples with two tablespoons cinnamon sugar. Arrange one-half of the apple slices in each pan so they cover the bottom in pretty much a single layer. Pour one-half the egg mixture over the apple slices in each pan. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar over the batter in each pan. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve right away, while still puffy, with warm syrup.

*May substitute blueberries or blackberries for the apples.[[In-content Ad]]
