Apple Clafoutis

I usually make cherry clafoutis, but I had several fresh apples and I found this great recipe on the website of the Quebec apple, which I adapted a bit. Another good healthy dessert, full of fruits and low in fat, once out of the oven already half of it was eaten…

Servings: 6 to 8 people

Ingredients:

• 2  tablespoons butter or margarine
• 6 cups Granny Smith or Cortland apples, peeled, cored and sliced
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of 1% milk
• 1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2-3 tablespoons rum (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 pinch of ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and let it skip the apple slices with brown sugar for 6-8 minutes or until tender. Then put them in a greased shallow, with a capacity of 2 l (4 cups) and baking.
2. In a bowl, mix the eggs and sugar, then add milk, flour, salt, vanilla and rum until the dough is smooth and clear.
3. Pour the batter over the apples by sliding to the bottom of the mold.
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 º C (350 º F) for 45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
