Apple Clafoutis
French-style apple clafoutis, approximately 6 servings
Ingredients :
- 4 apples (Golden Delicious or another sweet variety)
- 100 g of sugar
- 100g of flour
- 3 eggs
- 25 cl of milk
- 20g of melted butter
- 1 sachet of vanilla sugar (or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract)
- 1 pinch of salt
- Butter for the mold
- Icing sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Preparation :
Preheat the oven to 180°C (thermostat 6).
Preparing the apples:
Peel the apples, remove the core and cut them into slices or small cubes, according to your preference.
Lightly butter a mold (approximately 24 cm in diameter) and arrange the apples at the bottom.
Prepare the clafoutis mixture:
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar until the mixture is slightly frothy.
Next, add the flour and salt, then mix well.
Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to stir, then add the melted butter. You should obtain a smooth batter, slightly thicker than pancake batter.
Assembly :
Pour the batter over the apples in the mold.
Cooking :
Bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes, until the clafoutis is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out dry.
Finishing :
Allow to cool slightly, then sprinkle with icing sugar before serving, if desired.
Trick :
Clafoutis can be enjoyed warm or cold, with a touch of fresh cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for those with a sweet tooth.
Enjoy your meal! 🥂
