Have you heard anything about clafoutis before? To be honest, I also found out about him only recently. I heard that it was a wonderful French dessert, but I did not dare to cook it. I prefer to cook spectacular, but simple dishes that do not require a significant investment of time and the availability of exotic products. And I consider the French to be gourmets, especially when it comes to desserts. Therefore, I did not at all imagine that I could come across a simple recipe from French cuisine, and even more so make a French dessert on my own.

After wandering around the Internet, I realized that with the preparation of clafoutis, no special difficulties are foreseen. In our understanding, it is bulk pie with berries or fruits. But not really, there are differences. The dough for clafoutis is made very thin, like a pancake dough. They take a little flour, respectively, the calorie content of clafoutis is lower than that of ordinary pies... Finally, the fruit-berries used as a filler are soaked in aromatic alcohol (rum, brandy, cognac), which gives a special charm to the finished dish. The result is either thick tender pancake with a filling, or a casserole, or a pie, in a word - a dessert.

The classic of the genre is clafoutis with cherries, but there are a lot of recipes with various fillings, if you wish, you can even use unsweetened toppings such as seafood. I decided to experiment with the remnants of the apple harvest. BUT frozen cherry wait in the wings - I'll prepare a classic clafoutis for the New Year. By the way, apple clafoutis has its own funny name - floniard. I will tell you in detail about my first experience of making clafoutis, and let this word no longer scare you, like the word "floniard".

How I cooked clafoutis with apples (flonyard)

For my experiment, I prepared the following products:

  • medium-sized apples - 5 pieces;
  • cream - ½ cup (hereinafter - st.);
  • sugar - ½ tbsp.;
  • large eggs - 3 pieces;
  • cognac - ¼ st .;
  • butter - 5 tbsp. spoons;
  • pitted raisins - ½ tbsp.
  • flour - 50 g;
  • cinnamon - a pinch.

I washed the raisins well, soaked them in cognac.

Form smeared butter, powdered with sugar.

I turned on the oven to heat up to 190 degrees.

I washed the apples, removed the centers, cut them into slices about 1 cm thick.

I put the sliced ​​apples in a mold in one layer. Lightly sprinkled the slices with melted butter, sprinkled with sugar (2 tablespoons).

Place the mold in the top of the preheated oven for 25 minutes. She herself started preparing the filling for the dessert.

Eggs with sugar turned into a fluffy mass with a blender.

She took the apple mold out of the oven. The apples have softened, but the wedges remain intact. To such a state, they should have been baked.

I poured the apples with the liquid left after soaking the raisins, carefully filled them with dough.

Now the form with the future dessert was sent to the middle level of the oven, baked for about 25 minutes at the same temperature. The scent was incomparable!

The surface is browned. I stuck a skewer into the dessert - it remained clean. My clafoutis with apples is ready!

Family tea drinking with the Russian version of the French delicacy was very successful.

Everyone was happy, but it seemed to me that the raisins were too much: its taste interrupted the taste of apples. Henceforth, I will reduce the amount of raisins by half.
