A simple (and not too heavy) French dessert or breakfast that can be tossed in the oven with just a few minutes of prep! I like to think of this clafoutis as big, fat baked apple crepe ;) Technically all you need is milk, flour, eggs and sugar. You use any fruits you like- cherries, plums, pears...they all taste great!

I use a pie dish or tart pan when baking.

Steps

60 mins

1

Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
2

Grease your baking dish with butter.
3

Peel the apples and slice into thin wedges. Layout in your baking dish. (In this case, I halved the recipe and used a smaller tart dish).
4

Sprinkle apples with liquor (if using), some brown sugar, and spices such as cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. Add a few nuts if you want some crunch in the finished product ;) Set aside.
5

In a bowl, whisk together flour, salt, eggs, sugar, milk, and vanilla until well mixed. Don't worry if there are a few small lumps of flour.
6

Pour batter over apples.
7

Put on center rack of oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until light brown and batter has set.
8

The clafouti will puff up like a monster pancake during the baking but it'll deflate to normal size once it cools.
9

Let cool for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if you like. I love to top this with just a bit of yogurt, or anything creamy like creme fraiche :D
