French Apple Clafoutis

Preheat your oven to 375°F/190°C. Lightly butter a 9-inch pie dish or oven-safe baking dish.

Arrange the sliced apples evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.

Gradually whisk in the flour until smooth, then slowly add the milk, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until the batter is uniform and lump-free.

Pour the batter evenly over the apples in the pie dish.

Bake for 40 minutes at 375°F/190°C, or until the clafoutis is golden brown, puffed, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The center should be set but still slightly jiggly.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
