Serves 4-6<br />

400g apples (I used Granny Smith)<br />

125g blackberries<br />

250g crème fraîche<br />

50ml whole milk<br />

Seeds of 1 vanilla pod<br />

Instructions:<br />

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 />
