Apple Cinnamon Clafoutis

Clafoutis is a baked French dessert of fruit, traditionally black cherries, arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick flan-like batter. We added a fall twist on this classic dish using apples and cinnamon that can be served for brunch or dessert!

Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil
  • 4 free range eggs
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener of choice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk of choice 2%, almond milk, soy milk
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour or all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 2 cups thinly sliced peeled apple
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • powdered sugar (optional)
  • vanilla Greek yogurt for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ᵒF and lightly oil a shallow 10-inch baking dish or cast-iron pan with the butter or coconut oil.

  2. In a medium bowl using a whisk or hand-held mixer on medium speed, beat together the eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Beat in the flour and pour into the prepared baking dish.

  3. In another medium bowl, toss together the apple slices, brown sugar and cinnamon to combine. Arrange the apples evenly (no pattern is necessary) over the top of the flour mixture. They will sink, so not to worry.

  4. Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until the batter puffs up and the top is slightly golden.

  5. Serve warm. If desired, top with a dusting of powdered sugar and Greek yogurt for even more protein and nutrients for those growing teens!
