Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons butter divided
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon divided
  • 1/4 tsp. salt **
  • 1/2 cup flour *
  • 2 small crisp apples organic if possible (go for Fuji if you prefer a slightly sweet apple, or Granny Smith if you enjoy a tart flavor)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave or in a saucepan.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs.
  • Beat the eggs lightly and then add the melted butter.
  • Measure milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, salt, and flour, and add them to the eggs.
  • Mix all of the ingredients until the batter is well blended.
  • If you have one, use an apple peeler/corer/slicer to peel, core, and slice your apples. If not, use a vegetable peeler to peel the apples.
  • Cut out the cores and slice the apples thinly.
  • Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a 10" ovenproof skillet. Add the sliced apples and cook until they are golden brown, 5-10 minutes. (If you'd like, you can add a dash or two of ground cinnamon.)
  • Put on oven mitts and take the skillet off the heat. Pour the batter over the apples.
  • Measure 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and stir them together in a small bowl. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the batter.
  • Place the skillet into the oven and cook for 15-25 minutes until gently browned and puffed. (Do not open the oven during the first 15 minutes of the cooking process, or the puff will deflate!)
  • Put on oven mitts, remove the skillet from the oven, and immediately place an oven mitt over the handle, so that you won't accidentally burn your hand.
  • Cut the puff into wedges and serve immediately.
