Endless House Guest Apple Fritter

By popular demand, here is the recipe for the "Endless Houseguest" pancake:

You'll be sauteing and baking in the same pan, so you'll 
need a good 10" or 12" nonstick pan that can also be used 
in the oven. I like Wearever nonstick pans - they cost $20
at Target, and they have a neat little handle on the far 
end of the pan (which makes the flipping part very easy).

4 large eggs
1.5 cups whole milk
1.5 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6-8 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 medium tart apples (I use Granny Smiths), peeled, cored,
                      and sliced
1 cup (packed) brown sugar
1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Mix together the eggs, milk, flour, and vanilla. Beat until
there are no lumps. Set aside.

In the pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Saute the apple
slices for a few minutes, until they start to get soft. Mix 
in the brown sugar and the cinnamon.

Remove the pan from the heat. Pour the batter over the fruit 
mixture in the pan. Put the pan in the oven and bake for 20 
minutes.

When the pancake is puffy and brown and gooey, remove from 
the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Then place 
a large plate over the pan, and "flip" the pancake onto the 
plate (so that the fruit, which was on the bottom of the pan, 
is now on top).

Yum!
