French Food Friday... Clafoutis aux pommes a la normande

 

photo and recipe from here

Bonjour mes belles,

I was hoping to share some photos of Normandy with you but it has been a busy week and there still seems to be a million things that need to be done.

Next week will hopefully be a less busy week  and I will hopefgully share some photos of the trip with you.

As a result of our recent trip, I am in love with all things from Normandy including the calvados which French Boyfriend loves to cook with. I am planning of stealing some to make this fabulous dessert recipe...

Clafoutis aux pommes a la normande

For the apples:

• 3 apples, peeled and cut in eighths
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons Calvados or other brandy or rum
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

For the batter:

• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup flour
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet on medium heat. Add the apples, 2 tablespoons of sugar, Calvados and cinnamon and cook for 5 minutes, stirring to coat the apples.

Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with 1/2 cup sugar until blended. Sift the flour on top of this and then whisk until blended. Whisk in the melted butter and finally the milk and salt to make a smooth batter.

Place the apples in a greased 1-1/2 quart baking dish. Pour the batter on top. Bake for 25 minutes at 400 degrees F. Serve warm.

Makes 6 servings. 

bon vendredi à tous, Leeann x
