   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a heavy, ovenproof 8-inch skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

2. Cook Apples:

   • Add the thinly sliced apples to the skillet and cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until they just begin to soften.

3. Prepare Batter:

   • Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and salt. Beat the mixture with a rotary beater or wire whisk until just blended.

4. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture:

   • In a small bowl, mix together the remaining granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside for later use.

5. Pour Batter:

   • Pour the prepared batter over the cooked apple slices in the skillet. Ensure an even distribution.

6. Bake First Stage:

   • Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the batter sets.

7. Adjust Oven Temperature:

   • Once the initial baking is done, remove the skillet from the oven and reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C).

8. Flip Pancake:

   • Using a thin spatula, gently loosen the edges of the pancake from the skillet. Then, with the help of two spatulas, carefully flip the pancake. Alternatively, cover the skillet with a large plate, invert, and slide the pancake back into the skillet.

9. Add Cinnamon Sugar:

   • Sprinkle the top of the pancake with the reserved cinnamon sugar mixture.

10. Bake Second Stage:

    • Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the pancake is puffy, golden brown, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

11. Serve:

    • Once fully baked, transfer the puffy apple pancake onto a warm plate. Cut into wedges and serve hot, accompanied by whipped cream, crème fraîche, sour cream, or maple syrup as desired.
