APPLE OR PEAR CLAFOUTI (AN EASY FRENCH DESSERT)
I'd never heard of this dessert until I ate it in a small hotel at the foot of the French Pyrenees. I came back home and was able to find this recipe on the internet-- I believe a French cuisine website, but the name escapes me. Quick, easy, and yummy, too. Preparation time includes resting time.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Make the batter: Sift the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt into a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolk, and milk until well blended. Add about 1/3 of the egg mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until smooth, then gradually incorporate the remaining egg mixture. Whisk until well blended. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you prepare the apples.
- Cook the apples: With the tip of a knife, scrape the vanilla bean seeds from the pod into an ovenproof 10-inch cast iron or stainless steel skillet. Add the pod and the butter and cook over moderately high heat until the butter turns nut brown. Add a pinch of salt. Add the apples and cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean pod and discard. Sprinkle the apples with the sugar, reduce the heat to moderately low, and cook until the apples are almost cooked through and the sugar has melted and is coating the apples in a light syrup. Add the grappa or other brandy off the fire while pouring, place back on the fire, wait for flame to die down, the swirl the pan briefly. Spread the fruit evenly in the skillet.
- Working quickly, pour batter evenly over the fruit. Bake until the edges of the clafouti are puffed and browned and the center is set, about 15 minutes.
- Put some confectioners' sugar in a sieve and generously dust the surface of the clafouti. Serve warm directly from the pan with a dollop of creme fraiche.
- Michael's Notes: If you plan to serve individual clafoutis from mini pans, heat the pans in the oven until quite hot, about 5 minutes, then divide the cooked fruit among the pans, top with the batter, and bake. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the pans.
- To make a cherry clafouti, use 1 1/4 cups pitted cherries. Substitute 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest for the cinnamon and Grand Marnier for the grappa.
MAPLE-APPLE CLAFOUTI
This fruit pudding could not be easier to make! A traditional comfort food in France, it is often made with cherries. I use apples and maple syrup to give it a real Midwestern flair. -Bridget Klusman, Otsego, Michigan

HONEY CRISP APPLE CLAFOUTI
A clafouti ["klah-foo-tee"] is a French dessert which became popular in the 19th century & is traditionally made with black cherries in a thick sweet batter, The name comes from the Occitan "clafotis", from the verb "clafir", which means "to fill", as in, "the fruit fills in the batter..." Since black cherries are not always...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 for glass (& 375 for other pan types). Very important: Put the following ingredients into a blender OR use a large, very deep mixing bowl (if you don't, this recipe splatters all over---especially if using a hand-held mixer!): eggs, milk, whipping cream, 6 TB of the butter, vanilla, cinnamon, flour, & 1 1/4 cups of the sugar. Mix until smooth (blender or mixer) & set aside.
- 2. Grease with butter or spray with olive oil a 10-inch pie plate or a 11 x 7 rectangular pan ( I use glass, & it works great & looks pretty!) Place it on a cookie sheet in the oven to heat.
- 3. Meanwhile, melt 4 TB butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced, peeled Honey Crisp apples, 3/4 cup sugar, & 4 TB brandy (or brandy extract; if you are concerned about using brandy, the liquor will cook out), stirring often & cooking for 5-7 minutes. The aroma is wonderful, & the apples will produce the best juice, which will be used later :) The sugar, butter, & brandy will glaze the apples beautifully.
- 4. Remove the pie plate or rectangular pan from the oven carefully to a flat surface. Immediately pour half of the batter into it. Using a slotted spoon or fork (or both!), place the apple slices into the batter, working carefully to place them (to avoid splatters). As the slices sink into the batter, it's OK to add more right over the top, until most of the apple slices are sitting in or on the batter :) Save any leftover apple slices & the pan juices---you will use it later. Immediately pour the other half of the batter over the apple slices. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the top, & feel free to add a few extra pats of butter, too, if you wish.
- 5. Bake until the clafouti is golden & set in the center (insert a toothpick; it should emerge clean), about 35-40 minutes or so if using a glass pan at 350, or 25-30 minutes if using a metal pan, etc. It will resemble a moist bread pudding in texture. For high altitude baking (I live at about 6000 feet), there is no need to add extra flour, but if you wish, you can add 2-3 extra TB.
- 6. Remember those wonderful remaining apple slices & that heavenly-smelling juice in the skillet? Place a few extra apple slices over the top of each piece, & drizzle the apple juice over that, followed by a drizzle of clover honey---& maybe a dollop of whipped cream! Enjoy :)
- 7. This recipe is also very good made with peaches (fresh, canned, or frozen) or Granny Smith apples.
