Apple Clafoutis image

Clafoutis is a French dish that is sort of a cross between a flan and a pancake. Similar to a flan, clafoutis is a very easy dessert that always impresses. It's hearty enough even to serve for breakfast.

Time 1h10m

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large, slightly tart apples, like Pink Lady or Braeburn 2 to 2 1/4 pounds
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons light brown sugar, preferably organic
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 eggs
1/2 vanilla bean, split, or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup sugar, preferably organic fair-trade sugar
Pinch of salt
2/3 cup sifted unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plain yogurt
3/4 cup low-fat milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 10- or 10 1/2-inch ceramic tart pan, baking dish or clafoutis dish.
  • Peel, core and slice the apples into 16ths. Toss with the lemon juice in a large bowl.
  • Heat the butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until they begin to look translucent, about four minutes. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir together until the apples have softened slightly and begun to caramelize, six to eight minutes. Remove from the heat, and transfer to the baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the seeds from the vanilla bean or the vanilla extract. Add the sugar and salt, and whisk together. Slowly beat in the flour, then add the yogurt and milk. Whisk until thoroughly blended. Pour over the apples in the baking dish.
  • Place in the oven, and bake 35 to 40 minutes until the top is browned and the clafoutis is firm and puffed. Check by pressing lightly on the middle. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack, or serve warm.

This was the first time I made clafoutis and I was really happy with the results! The clafoutis was light and fluffy, and the apples were tender and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This clafoutis was a bit bland. I think I would add more spices next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and the clafoutis turned out well.

This clafoutis was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and the clafoutis turned out well.

I'm not a big fan of clafoutis, but this one was surprisingly good. The apples were tart and the custard was sweet and creamy. The cinnamon and nutmeg added a nice touch. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the clafoutis turned out beautifully. I used a variety of apples and they all worked well. The custard was rich and creamy. I served it with a dollop of whipped cream and it was a hit with my family.
