In frying pan, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté apples until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Arrange apple slices in greased 2-quart (2 L) shallow baking dish. In blender or food processor, blend all other ingredients until smooth. Pour batter over apples, separating slices with fork and allowing batter to flow between. Option: If you love cinnamon, combine 1 tbsp (15 mL) sugar and ½ tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon; sprinkle on top before baking. Bake at 350° F (180° C) for 45 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in centre comes out clean. Serve warm. Makes 6 to 8 servings. Manitoba Egg Producers www.mbegg.mb.ca
