 Whisk 3 eggs until frothy; whisk in 3/4 cup each of milk and flour.  Add 1/2 tsp vanilla and a dash of salt.  Peel, core and slice 1 apple; cook in an ovenproof 10 inch skillet with 3 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon sugar until just soft.  Add the batter and bake at 450' until puffy and golden, 15 minutes.  (we served with Buttermilk Syrup from Our Best Bites..YUM)
