Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place 3 Tbsp. butter into 10” oven-safe pan and place in the oven for 5 minutes.
In a blender, mix 3 eggs, flour, and milk. Blend for 25-30 seconds. Pour into prepared pan. Return to oven and bake for 25 minutes.

While pancake is baking:

Melt remaining 3 Tbsp. butter in another frying pan over medium heat. Peel and slice apples in ½ inch slices and add to the pan with sugar and cinnamon. Cook apples until soft; about 10 minutes.
Remove pan from oven; the crust will be puffed with big bubbles- don’t pop them- they will relax when the fruit is added.
Pour warm fruit into center of the pancake. Sprinkle with confectioner sugar and serve!
