    Title: Apple Butter Clafoutis
    Categories: Pies
    Yield: 1 Pie

    2 Firm baking apples
    - (Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or
    - Pink Lady); up to 3
    Butter; for greasing the pie
    - plate
    2 tb Apple butter; up to 3 tb,
    - plus more for serving
    3 lg Eggs
    1/2 c Granulated sugar; down to
    - 1/3 c if your apple butter
    - is very sweet
    1/2 c All-purpose flour
    3/4 c Whole milk
    1/4 c Cream
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    1 ts Cinnamon
    1 ts Nutmeg
    1 pn Ground cloves or allspice;
    - scant (optional)
    1 pn Salt

    Preparation time: 10 minutes, plus optional chilling
    Cooking time: 35 minutes

    Preheat your oven to 350?F (175?C) and butter a shallow pie or
    baking dish. Peel, core and slice the apples thinly, or leave the
    skins on for a rustic touch. Set aside.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and
    slightly frothy. Add the flour, salt and spices, and mix until smooth.
    Slowly whisk in the milk, cream and vanilla, making a thin, pourable
    batter. Chill in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes if you have the
    time--it makes the clafoutis more tender.

    Arrange the apple slices in the buttered dish. Pour the batter over
    the apples. Dollop or streak the apple butter across the top--small
    spots, lines or swirls will create rustic pockets of flavor.

    Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges are
    puffed and golden and the center is just set; a knife inserted should
    come out clean.

    Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve
    with a dollop of whipped cream and extra apple butter. Best enjoyed
    warm, in a kitchen filled with the scent of baked apples and spice.
