Clafoutis aux Pommes
Clafoutis aux Pommes is a delightful French dessert that celebrates the simplicity of fresh apples enveloped in a rich, custard-like batter. Originating from the Limousin region of France, this dish is traditionally made with cherries, but this apple variation brings a comforting sweetness and a warm, inviting aroma to your kitchen. It's perfect for a cozy gathering or a special family dessert, and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- 1 cup
- Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Eggs
- 3 large
- Milk
- 1 cup
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Apples
- 3 cups, peeled, cored, and sliced
- Powdered sugar
- for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Arrange the sliced apples evenly in the greased baking dish, creating a beautiful layer.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Carefully pour the batter over the sliced apples in the baking dish, ensuring the apples are evenly covered.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is set and golden brown on top, with a slight jiggle in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delightful blend of tender apples and creamy batter.
Tips
- For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- You can also substitute the apples with other fruits, such as pears or berries, depending on your preference and seasonal availability.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent dessert.
