Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs

  • 1 ½ cups skim milk, preferably organic

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 4 apples, such as Gala or Red Delicious, peeled, quartered, cored and thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon light-brown sugar

  • Confectioners' sugar, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  2. Combine eggs, milk, and vanilla in the jar of a blender. Blend until well combined. Add flour, granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Blend until dry ingredients are well incorporated; set aside.

  3. Place butter in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Transfer dish to oven and heat until butter has just melted. Carefully remove from oven and place apples in a single layer in baking dish. Return to oven and cook until butter begins to bubble, about 4 minutes.
