Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Add 1/4 cup of butter to a 9x5 loaf pan and place it in the cold oven to melt as the oven preheats.

In a blender, add 2 eggs and blend.

Add 1/2 cup of 2% milk, a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of flour to the blender and blend until smooth.

Pour the batter into the loaf pan over the melted butter.

Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

For the cinnamon apple version, slice a Granny Smith apple and soak in a bowl of water with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt to prevent browning.

Dry the apple slices and lay them in the bottom of the baking dish.

Prepare the batter again using 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of 2% milk, a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of flour, and blend.

Pour the batter over the apple slices in the baking dish.

Mix 2 tablespoons of sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle most of it on top of the batter, saving some for later.

Bake in the oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with reserved cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, and fresh squeezed lemon juice before serving.
