Apple Clafouti

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.
Cooking Instructions
- 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

This is the recipe passed down from my mother. She makes it every year when plums are in season.If you steep the plums in brandy, it'll bring out the fragrance and flavor of the brandy. It's fine also with a neutral liquor like white liquor. If using white liquor, the ingredient amounts are the same!! Recipe by U-ra cookpad.japan -
Apple Crumble Apple Crumble
This recipe was written up for the British Embassy's campaign, "A Taste of Britain" For more information, see the Facebook page www.facebook.com/oishii.igirisuIt's also delicious when made with European pears, cherries, plums, or rhubarb. Bramley apples are the best, but any tart red apples are good. It's standard to cover crumble in hot and thick custard but I also recommend that you try "Whisky Ice Cream",.

Easy Pear Compote Easy Pear Compote
I've loved pears since I was a child. They are delicious fresh, but I wanted to use them when cooking both sweet and savory dishes, so I made a compote.Since the pears will be simmered, choose pears that are on the firm side. You can serve the compote with ice cream, chop it up and put it in yogurt, or use it for hors d'oeuvres, tarts and other sweets. Recipe by Usagi no Cima. cookpad.japan -
Vegan Apple Tarte Tartin Vegan Apple Tarte Tartin
Do you ever get mindblown when you found something out of the norm during your grocery shopping? That's what happened to me. I was actually browsing some frozen puff pastries in the frozen section in a supermarket and found out there is actually a vegan puff pastry. It was like "pppssshhhh" to my head. The most amazing thing is as I scanned thru' the ingredients list, there are no bi-product or chemical, all natural ingredients! Sadly, I didn't snap any photos of the brand cos I was skeptical.Skeptical about how pastry without butter will react during final baking process. As soon as I saw how it puff up with all those beautiful layers, I am convinced. As you should know, I dislike pie/tart crust. Needless to say, I am not a fan of apple pie or tart; it is usually too over the top sweet with extra sweeteners or cream or whatnot and you can't really taste the apples.This is how an apple pastry should be. Simple, elegant and not too sweet without any added extra ingredients. Just allow the caramel, apples and the puff pastry work their magic. I am using a mixture of apples: gala, honeycrisp and granny smith. I am using a 9 inch oven proof skillet. Adjust the ingredients accordingly if you are using a smaller or a bigger skillet. It has to be oven proof. Anyway, I hope you will give this recipe a try. Daniel Lim -

Low-Calorie Cherry and Yogurt Ice Cream Low-Calorie Cherry and Yogurt Ice Cream
I tried making ice cream since I received cherries. It was refreshing and I felt it was healthy too.You can put it in a tupperware container if you want, but when you freeze it, cracks will appear and it also tends to take a lot of time. That's why I recommend using a plastic bag. If you spread it thinly and let it harden, you can just break a piece off whenever you want. Recipe by mini cookpad.japan -
Apple Tart Apple Tart
I wanted to make a delicious apple tart filling without using heavy cream.I revised a recipe found in a book by changing up the apples a bit and made it into an easy tart made with just milk.You may end up with some leftover apples at Step 11, but it's fine that way, since they're delicious just by on their own.Please don't use up all the leftover egg at Step 10. It should only be spread thinly throughout the entire crust. Recipe by peko&poko cookpad.japan -
Whole Apple Pie Whole Apple Pie
I decided to try to make an apple pie using a whole apple. Through trial and error, I came up with this fairly easy recipe.・When cooking the apples, place them in a microwavable container, leaving a little room to move the apples around. Cover them with a lid and plastic wrap, but be very careful removing this when the apples are cooked as the steam will be very hot.・Make sure the apples are thoroughly cooled when you wrap the pie crust around them. You can chill them in the refrigerator if you prefer. Recipe by nyonta cookpad.japan
