Clafoutis aux pommes is a classic French dessert made with tender apples baked in a smooth, custard-like batter. Light, elegant, and comforting, this dish offers a delicious blend of fruit and flan textures.

Ingredients

  • 3–4 firm apples (such as Granny Smith or Golden Delicious), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for sautéing apples)
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter (plus extra for greasing the dish and sautéing apples)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with butter.
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a skillet, sauté them with 1 tablespoon butter, a sprinkle of sugar, and cinnamon (if using) until slightly tender.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and frothy.
  4. Add the flour and salt, then slowly whisk in the milk until the batter is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Evenly spread the sautéed apples in the greased baking dish.
  6. Pour the batter over the apples.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is just set.
  8. Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Notes

Use tart apples like Granny Smith for the best flavor balance.Don’t skip pre-cooking the apples to ensure they soften properly during baking.Serve warm for a traditional experience, or enjoy chilled for a firmer texture.A blender can be used to mix the batter quickly and smoothly.
