This apple pancake is so easy to make and is large enough to serve several people. It would be a great dish for holiday visitors.

1 cup whole milk
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup flour
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces Golden Delicious apples (about 2), peeled, cored, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons brown sugar
powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 425F. Whisk milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon in large bowl until well blended. Add flour and whisk until batter is smooth. Place butter in a 13x9-inch baking dish.
