It’s good to fail. It gives perspective.
I know I should be posting about berries and springy things and asparagus, but I saw this recipe yesterday and made it this morning on a whim.
This is like a clafoutis, or even an apple pudding, if the pudding part were similar to a bread pudding. I hated it and thought it tasted like vanilla paste. Himself said it “wasn’t bad”, but might be better chilled. We’ll see. Maybe.
Do not think I will make this again. Or, if I do, I will make it thicker. I still want to try that Swedish version with the grated marzipan – that sounds much tastier.
Alrighty, here’s the receipt:
Heat your oven to 400*. Grease an 8″ springform and line the base with parchment.
In your mixer on high for three minutes until super fluffy light:
2 eggs
1/4 brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Peel and mandoline 6 medium apples.
Sift together
1/2 c. + 1 Tbp flour
1 tsp baking powder
Melt 2 Tbp butter
Once the eggs/sugar are super fluffy foamy, sprinkle the flour/baking powder over them, drizzle in the butter and
1/3 c. whole milk.
Mix to combine.
Reserve some apple slices to sprinkle on top, and hand mix the rest of the apple slices in to the batter, making sure they are all coated. Pour into prepared pan, put the reserved slices on top, and bake for 30-35 minutes until set.
Serve hot, warm, or cold. With vanilla sauce or sprinkled with powdered sugar.
