Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Melt butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Add eggs and whisk until smooth.
Step 3
Pour batter into the hot skillet. Arrange apple slices evenly over the top in overlapping rows.
Step 4
Bake for 12–14 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the cake (not an apple) comes out clean.
Step 5
Let cool in the pan for 2 minutes. Dust with extra cinnamon and serve warm from the skillet.
