INGREDIENTS
 
 

For a round ceramic tart pan, 27 cm (10.5 in) diameter and 4 cm (1.5 in) deep

  • 4 eggs
  • 60 g granulated sugar
  • 60 g brown sugar can be replaced with granulated sugar
  • 2 packets of vanilla sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla powder or seeds from 1 vanilla pod
  • A pinch of salt
  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • 60 g unsalted butter
  • 400 ml whole milk or half milk and half cream
  • 1 kg Golden or Reine des Reinettes apples about 650 g (1.4 lbs) once peeled and sliced

PREPARATION

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) with static/conventional heat.
  • Grease and flour the pan, tapping out the excess flour.
  • Peel the apples, remove the cores, and cut them into slices about 1 cm (0.4 in) thick. Arrange the slices in the pan.
  • Melt the butter.
  • Sift the flour into a large bowl and mix with the sugar, vanilla sugar, vanilla powder, and a pinch of salt.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour, crack the eggs into it, and mix from the center outwards to avoid lumps. Whisk thoroughly.
  • Add the warm melted butter and stir to combine.
  • Stir in half the milk, then add the rest, mixing well.
  • Note: You should have a smooth, lump-free batter. If desired, strain it through a fine sieve before pouring it over the apples.
  • Pour the batter over the apples and bake for about 50 minutes, depending on your oven. Start checking for doneness about 15 minutes before the end of the indicated time.
  • The clafoutis should be set and golden brown on top. Test for doneness by inserting a skewer into the center; it should come out clean.
  • Remove the clafoutis from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. For a chilled version, let it cool completely before refrigerating.
  • Optionally, dust with a little powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Storage 
This apple clafoutis keeps well for 3 to 4 days, covered, in the refrigerator. You can reheat it slightly in the microwave before serving.
