Ingredients

  • 3 large Ontario Apples, Ida Red or Spy
  • Butter, softened

  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla

Instructions

Peel apples; core and cut in half lengthwise. Thinly slice crosswise and arrange attractively overlapping in rows in well-buttered 6-cup (1.5 L) shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the sugar. Bake in 375°F (190°C) oven for 10 minutes; remove from oven (leave oven on). Pour brandy over apples; let cool.

In blender or food processor, blend milk, cream, eggs, flour, cinnamon and salt for 2 minutes. Add remaining sugar and vanilla; blend for a few seconds. Pour over apples.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until well puffed and golden. Let cool (clafouti will fall upon cooling). Serve barely warm sprinkled with icing sugar.
