Easy Clafoutis (Any Fruit)
Recipe from Nina Sarazin

This is a classic, rustic, sweet dessert recipe from France that is very 
handy if one has unused frut sitting around.

Ingredients

3–4 cups fruit (cherries, berries, sliced peaches, plums, apples, etc.)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar (plus a little extra for sprinkling fruit)
1 cup milk (whole milk or any milk works)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
1–2 Tbsp. melted butter (plus more for greasing pan)
Optional: powdered sugar for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a pie dish or baking dish.

Prepare fruit:

Spread fruit evenly in the bottom of the dish. Lightly sprinkle with a
spoonful of sugar.

Make batter:

In a bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until smooth.  Add milk,
vanilla, and salt.  Whisk in flour until just combined (no need to
overmix). You can use a food processor, but it's easy to overdo - think
rustic French recipe - nothing fancy!  Stir in melted butter.

Pour & bake:

Pour batter over fruit.  Bake for 35–45 minutes, until puffed, golden,
and set in the center.

Finish & serve:

Let cool slightly (it will deflate a bit—normal!).  Dust with powdered
sugar and serve warm or at room temperature.
