Ingredients
For the Batter:
3 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
4 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
For the Apples:
1 tbsp butter
4 golden delicious apples
1/2 cup sugar
3 tbsp rum
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Grease a 9-inch pie pan and coat with sugar.
- Whisk the sugar and the eggs together in a medium bowl.
- Whisk in the flour and about 1/4 cup of the whole milk to make a smooth paste.
- Then whisk in the rest of the milk, the melted butter and the vanilla extract.
- Let the batter rest while you prepare the apples.
- Peel and core the apples. (see notes)
- Slice the apples into about 1/2 inch slices.
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat and then stir in the sugar and rum.
- Add in the apple slices, stirring to coat with the sugar mixture.
- Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften.
- Pour 2 cups of the batter into prepared pie pan.
- Put the apple slices in the pie pan, reserving the liquid in the skillet to glaze the clafoutis when it’s done baking.
- Pour the rest of the batter over the apple slices.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until it’s golden brown and the center is set.
- I put the pie pan on a baking sheet in case it bubbles over.
- When it’s done, remove from oven and pour reserved liquid over the top.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
