Classic Apple Clafoutis

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Apple Clafoutis.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   In a spacious bowl, whisk together the eggs and brown sugar until the mixture is silky smooth.

3. Step 3

   Gradually incorporate the flour and salt, then slowly add the milk while stirring continuously to achieve a well-blended custard.

4. Step 4

   Don’t forget to add a splash of vanilla extract before letting the custard rest.

5. Step 5

   In a 10 1/4-inch cast iron skillet, melt a generous pat of butter with brown sugar and a splash of water over medium-high heat.

6. Step 6

   Stir frequently until the concoction reaches a gentle boil.

7. Step 7

   Lower the heat to medium and carefully swirl the skillet—resist the urge to stir—allowing the mixture to thicken slightly for about 2 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Next, introduce the sliced apples and a dash of cinnamon to the skillet.

9. Step 9

   Cook them, stirring occasionally, until they become crisp-tender and begin to caramelize, which should take around 15 to 18 minutes.

10. Step 10

    Once the apples are ready, remove the skillet from the heat.

11. Step 11

    Give your custard a quick stir and pour it lovingly over the warm apples.

12. Step 12

    Slide the skillet into your preheated oven and bake for 28 to 35 minutes, or until the edges turn a delightful golden brown and the custard is perfectly set.
