Puffed Oven Pancake with Glazed Apples

To start this fancy pancake, butter is placed in the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan. The pan is heated until the butter melts. An easy batter made with eggs, flour, milk and salt is poured into the hot pan. The batter puffs up while baking in the oven. Glazed apples are made by cooking sliced apples in a skillet with brown sugar and apple juice. After removing the puffed pancake from the oven, the glazed apples are placed on top. Powdered sugar is sprinkled on top of the sliced pieces. A sweet and decadent twist on traditional pancakes.
