Clafoutis with apples
Incredibly delicious French dessert, clafoutis with apples, is popular all over the world. Clafoutis is considered a summer dish, but it can be made at any time of the year using seasonal berries and fruits.
The principle of preparation is to bake a large number of thinly sliced apple wedges in a liquid batter, which is akin to pancake batter. As a result, the softened apples mix with the flour filling, after which this delicate substance begins to resemble a tender cream.
Preparation time: 55 minutes.
Ingredients
Show ingredients
- medium-sized eggs – 2 pcs;
- white sugar – 50 g;
- milk – 100 ml;
- all-purpose flour – 80 g;
- butter – 20 g;
- baking powder – 1 tsp without a mound;
- fine salt – a pinch;
- apples – 700-800 g.
Preparation
- To make clafoutis with apples, first, prepare all the necessary products. They should not be cold, so take them out of the refrigerator in advance. You can use different varieties of apples to your taste.
- In a mixing bowl, add eggs, salt, and sugar.
- Beat this mixture with a mixer until fluffy foam forms.
- Then add all the milk at once and mix.
- Sift the flour in two additions, stirring the batter with a whisk after each addition.
- As a result, you will get a liquid batter, like for pancakes. Set it aside for now — the baking powder will be added later, just before baking, to preserve the maximum fluffiness of the flour filling.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Peel the apples and remove the cores.
- Now, they need to be sliced as thinly as possible. This can be done with a regular knife, but it's much easier with a grater that has an elongated slot (such a side is available on every grater). You should get thin, almost transparent slices.
- Transfer the apple slices to a wide bowl and pour the liquid batter over them.
- Gently mix everything so that each piece is coated with the flour filling.
- Add the baking powder to this and mix everything again. The batter will start to form small bubbles.
- Generously grease the sides and bottom of the mold with butter and place the prepared apple-flour mixture in it. Even out the batter over the entire surface. Place the mold in the oven without convection on the middle rack.
- After 40 minutes, the dish will be ready. If the mold is smaller, and the clafoutis is correspondingly higher, then a bit more baking time will be needed.
- Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar.
During the baking of clafoutis with apples, it emits an incredibly pleasant aroma, which already whets the appetite of the household. And when cut into portioned pieces, it reveals its internal structure – beautiful apple-flour layers that best complement a cup of hot coffee or tea.
