Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Melt 2 tbsp butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Toss apple slices with 0.25 cup sugar and cinnamon. Spread in the hot skillet, then increase heat to medium-high and cook 5 minutes without stirring until edges caramelize.
Step 3
Whisk together flour, remaining 0.5 cup sugar, eggs, 2 tbsp melted butter, a pinch of salt, and 2 tbsp water until smooth.
Step 4
Pour batter evenly over the apples. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean, about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Let cool in the skillet for 2 minutes, then serve directly from the pan or slide onto a plate.
