Ingredients

• 100 g All-purpose flour
• 100 g Granulated sugar
• 1 pinch Salt
• 4 large Eggs
• 500 ml Milk
• 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp Dark rum
• 2 large Apples (firm varieties such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 30 g Unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and butter a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Crack the eggs into the well and whisk gently, gradually incorporating the flour mixture into the eggs.

Step 4

Slowly add the milk while whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and dark rum. Let the batter rest for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.

Step 6

While the batter is resting, peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.

Step 7

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once the butter begins to foam, add the apple slices and sprinkle with brown sugar.

Step 8

Cook the apples until they are softened and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.

Step 9

Arrange the caramelized apple slices evenly in the prepared pie dish.

Step 10

Pour the batter over the apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow the Far Breton Aux Pommes to cool slightly before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
