Title: Apple Butter Clafoutis
Categories: Pies
Yield: 1 Pie

2 Firm baking apples
- (Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or
- Pink Lady); up to 3
Butter; for greasing the pie
- plate
2 tb Apple butter; up to 3 tb,
- plus more for serving
3 lg Eggs
1/2 c Granulated sugar; down to
- 1/3 c if your apple butter
- is very sweet
1/2 c All-purpose flour
3/4 c Whole milk
1/4 c Cream
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 ts Cinnamon
1 ts Nutmeg
1 pn Ground cloves or allspice;
- scant (optional)
1 pn Salt

Preparation time: 10 minutes, plus optional chilling
Cooking time: 35 minutes

Preheat your oven to 350?F (175?C) and butter a shallow pie or
baking dish. Peel, core and slice the apples thinly, or leave the
skins on for a rustic touch. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and
slightly frothy. Add the flour, salt and spices, and mix until smooth.
Slowly whisk in the milk, cream and vanilla, making a thin, pourable
batter. Chill in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes if you have the
time--it makes the clafoutis more tender.

Arrange the apple slices in the buttered dish. Pour the batter over
the apples. Dollop or streak the apple butter across the top--small
spots, lines or swirls will create rustic pockets of flavor.

Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges are
puffed and golden and the center is just set; a knife inserted should
come out clean.

Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve
with a dollop of whipped cream and extra apple butter. Best enjoyed
warm, in a kitchen filled with the scent of baked apples and spice.
