• 1/2 Cup Milk
• 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
• 1/3 Cup Granulated Sugar + 1 tablespoon
• 2/3 Cup Almond Powder
• 2 Large Eggs
• 1/2 Vanilla Bean, split in half and scraped
• 3/4 Cup Green Apple, peeled, cored and diced
• 1/2 Cup Whole Blackberries
• 1 Mango, peeled, seeded and diced (about 1 cup)
• 1 Tablespoon Butter

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees.

Combine the milk, heavy cream, 1/3 cup of sugar. almond powder, eggs and vanilla bean seeds in a large mixing bowl, using a wire whisk, and set aside.

Melt the butter in a medium size sauté pan over medium heat.

Add the apples and 1 tablespoon sugar and caramelize the fruit for 3 - 4 minutes.

Scatter the sautéed apple as well as the mango and blackberries in the bottom of a 10" x 2" glass baking dish.

Pour the milk & cream mixture on top of the fruit in the pie pan.

Bake in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes or until the filling is "set".

Remove clafoutis from the oven and set aside to cool for at least 30 minutes.

Ready to serve.

Tip: No need to unmold the dessert, as one can serve it directly from the pie pan.  It is great when served either lukewarm or cold.  For more fanciful individual servings, you can bake the clafoutis in 4-6 small gratin dishes.
