Apple & Hazelnut Clafoutis via La Tartine Gourmande

Béa Peltre, aka La Tartine Gourmande, may have been my first blogger crush.  I used to spend my entire lunch break pouring over her elegant yet rustic recipes, and was so intrigued by all these random ingredients she used.  Something about gluten-free, to which I wondered, at the time, "what's so wrong with gluten?"  Lo and behold, a few years later, I found out, at least according to my own immune system, and was overjoyed to realize that all of these go-to recipes I'd mastered from Béa were absolutely safe for me to eat.  Whew!  And by far my favorite recipe of hers has been her Apple & Hazelnut Clafoutis.  Not only is it super fun to say (say it with me now, kla-FOO-tee) it's ridiculously delicious.  Even my Grandpa Freer, who decidedly does not like his food fussy, raved over this strange dish I had the audacity to serve him.  So since this week's Rambo apples are perfect for baking, I think there's nothing better to do than take those manly apples and turn them into a dessert that sounds like the noise a sneezing fairy would make.

Baked Apple Pancake With Apple Cider Syrup


Baked Apple Pancake with Apple Cider SyrupWe are so so so excited to have our first apple of the season! Rambo apples are a good baking apple. Not the best for eating on its own, hold for the honeycrisp apples for that! I'm not quite prepared to dive into baking apples for things like pies and anything that alludes to fall/winter. However, I will always make an exception for pancakes! 

Ingredients:1 cup brown sugar
2 cups apple cider
cinnamon sticks
1 large unpeeled apple, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 eggs (can sub egg whites for some of the eggs)
2/3 cup skim milk
2/3 cup bread flour (can sub all-purpose or whole wheat)
2 tablespoons applesauce
1 tablespoon sugar
