Step 1
Whisk flour, eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until smooth. Let rest 5 minutes.
Step 2
Slice apples into 1/4-inch rings, removing cores. Toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until foaming. Lay apple slices flat and sear 2 minutes per side until golden at edges.
Step 4
Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over apples. Toss gently to coat and caramelize for 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5
Reduce heat to medium. Add 0.75 tbsp butter to the skillet. Pour 1/3 of batter, tilt to spread into a thin 8-inch round. Cook 3 minutes until set and golden on bottom.
Step 6
Flip and cook 1 more minute until light brown. Slide onto a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, using 0.75 tbsp butter per pancake.
Step 7
Stack all three pancakes, layering apples and syrup between each. Serve immediately.
