Melt two tablespoons of the butter and set aside. Combine eggs, sugar, salt, flour, milk and melted butter in a bowl, mix well until smooth and pass through a sieve.

Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch saut� pan. When the butter starts to brown lightly add apple, cinnamon and lemon juice. Saut� mixture until apples are cooked halfway and golden brown. Pour pancake batter over apples. Bake pancake in a 550 degree F oven.

Apple pancake takes about 12 to 15 minutes to cook. The pancake should souffl� up around the rim of the saut� pan and should turn a nice golden brown. Servewith warm syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
