Clafoutis "Marie-Antoinette"
This "Marie-Antoinette" clafoutis is a lighter version of the traditional fruit-in-batter baked dessert, almost a soufflé, with apples and lemon. The apples are sautéed in butter and Calvados, then combined with a lemon-flavoured confectioner's custard, lightened with raw meringue. This mixture is then baked rapidly in the oven. The result is a very light and delicate dessert with a harmonious blend of apple and lemon flavours. November 1st 201762 K4.9 1 hour 20 min.
