Dutch baby pancakes with softened cinnamon apples

I made this for the little man, and he liked it so much he asked for more. It is a fun breakfast. It is baked in a round cake pan, and if you have a light in your oven, your kids can watch it puff up. They will love it. Next time, I will take a picture.

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup lowfat milk
1/2 cup flour (I used whole wheat pastry flour, but you can use any kind)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, divided
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
2 large apples, peeled and sliced

Preheat the oven to 425*F. Grease a round cake pan.
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Use a fork to beat the eggs, oil, and milk until smooth.
Add the flour, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon to the bowl. Stir until a smooth batter forms, and pour into the graesed dish.
Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350*F and bake until the pancake is very puffy and lightly browned all over, about 5 to 8 minutes longer.
Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large skillet. Add the apples, and saute, stirring often until the apples are tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
To serve, spoon the apples over the pancakes.
