Apple or Pear Clafoutis

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour (whole wheat or white unbleached) 

2/3 cup sugar (if you’re off the refined stuff, try 1/2 cup of honey or pure maple syrup)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of salt

3 eggs

3 tablespoons milk or almond milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 

6 cups apples or pears, peeled, seeded and sliced as you would for a pie or tart

*In your order, this means you may want to order 6 medium sized apples or 4 large sized apples depending on their size.  Same for pears.  

**Optional: you can add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg or zest of one lemon

Directions

• Stir the flour, sugar and baking powder in a bowl.




• Make a well in the center of mixture and add the eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Mix to form a smooth batter.




• Add 4 tbsp of the melted butter.




• Let batter stand for 30 minutes while preparing the fruit.




• Pre-heat the oven to 450°F.




• Butter an 8- or 9-inch round cake pan.




• Stir the fruit into the batter and pour into the pan.




• Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.




• Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack or onto serving dish.




• Serve warm or cold.




• If you’re feeling adventurous, add a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream while it’s still warm and serve it up. Yum!
