Ingredients:

5 Tablespoons of butter up to 1 stick, we like lots of butter
2 Granny Smith Apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin. Actually we also like the apples simply chopped up with the skins left on. It's better for you this way too.
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Milk
1/4 Teaspoon Vanilla, use the good stuff from Mexico
4 Eggs
1/2 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Cinnamon
1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, add flour, milk, vanilla and eggs. Mix well until it's nice a smooth. 

In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. 

Add butter and cinnamon to a 12 inch Pyrex pie deep dish or square dish and put in the oven. (deep dish Pyrex is great) 

Crank to 375 degrees. 

When the butter is completely melted remove from oven and add the apples.  

Apples should completely cover the bottom of the pan and be nice and coated with butter and cinnamon.

Now pour the batter into the Pyrex dish directly into the center of the apple, butter, cinnamon.

Next coat the entire surface with the brown sugar, cinnamon and granulated sugar mixture.   To little and it won't be sweet enough.  To much and it will be too sweet.  So you really have to tweak this until it's the way you like it.  Generally, a thin layer across the top of the surface will work.

Now, let it cook for about 40 minutes depending on your oven. When the edges are golden to dark brown but not burnt it's time to remove and let the monster sit and cool for a few minutes. Then slice and enjoy!
