1. 1

   Preheat oven to 475.

2. 2

   Peel, core and very thinly slice the apples: you should have approximately 1-1/2 cups.

3. 3

   Melt 3 T sp. of the butter over medium low heat in a small fry pan, and saute the apples until they are just tender.

4. 4

   Keep apples warm while preparing the batter.

5. 5

   Place a 9 or 10 inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat for at least 5 minutes--the pan has to be very hot for this to work.

6. 6

   When it is well heated, add the remaining 2 T sp. of butter to melt and put the skillet back in the oven; the butter should be very hot buy not brown when you add the apples and the batter.

7. 7

   Place the flour, milk, vanilla, salt and nutmeg in a blender and whirl until smooth.

8. 8

   Remove the skillet from the oven, quickly arrange the warm apple slices over the melted butter, and pour the batter evenly over all.

9. 9

   Bake for 15 min., reduce heat to 375 and bake 10 min longer.

10. 10

    Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar, then cut in wedges and serve with maple syrup.
