Ingredients

• 2 large Granny Smith apples
• 1 cup Green chiles (roasted, peeled, and diced)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or cast-iron skillet with butter.

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the Granny Smith apples. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then add the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, whisking continuously, until a smooth batter forms.

Step 6

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apple slices and sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 7

Spread the sautéed apples evenly across the greased pie dish or skillet. Sprinkle the diced green chiles over the apples.

Step 8

Pour the batter over the apples and chiles, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafouti is puffed, golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. The clafouti will deflate slightly as it cools.

Step 11

Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature as a brunch dish or dessert.
