Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ + ⅓ cup brown sugar, divided
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • ½ cup + 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 4 large apples, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch wedges
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and ½ cup of the brown sugar until combined and smooth.
  3. Whisk in the flour and salt until smooth.
  4. Add in the milk, half and half, and vanilla. Whisk until combined, then set the batter mixture aside.
  5. Melt the butter together with the remaining ⅓ cup brown sugar and the water in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 2 minutes.
  6. Add the apples and cinnamon to the sugar mixture. Cook and stir over medium low heat until the apples are tender-crisp, or about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the apples and sauce from the pan. Wipe out the pan.
  7. Butter the bottom and sides of the pan with 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour in the reserved egg mixture.
  8. Spoon the apples into the egg mixture using a slotted spoon, reserving the sauce.
  9. Bake the clafoutis in the preheated oven for 25 to 28 minutes until golden and set.
  10. Serve the apple clafoutis warm with the reserved sauce drizzled on top, and optionally garnish with powdered sugar.
