Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 9-inch oven-safe skillet or baking dish in the oven while it preheats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the milk and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Be careful not to overmix.
Carefully remove the preheated skillet or baking dish from the oven and add the butter, swirling it around until melted and the bottom is coated.
Layer the sliced apples evenly across the bottom of the skillet or dish.
Pour the batter over the apples, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Return the skillet or dish to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools.
Serve warm, topped with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
