aola Westbeek<br />
Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a<br />
rectangular baking dish of approx. 26 x 18.5cm<br />
with butter. Peel, core and chop the apples.<br />
Spread them over the baking dish together with<br />
the blackberries. In a large bowl, whisk the crème<br />
fraîche, milk and vanilla. In a medium bowl, whisk<br />
the eggs, flour, sugar and rum. Add this mixture<br />
to the cream, eggs and vanilla and whisk well.<br />
Pour the custard over the fruit and bake the<br />
clafoutis for 35-40 minutes. Delicious warm or<br />
cold. You can dust it with powdered sugar or<br />
serve with ice cream for a more decadent<br />
dessert.<br />
