1 tsp (5 ml) butter
1 egg yolk
1/2 (125 ml) cup applesauce
1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar
1/4 cup (60 ml) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (60 ml) non-fat milk
1/2 tsp (2 ml) almond extract
4 egg whites
Pinch of salt
2 cups (500 ml) pitted cherries, fresh or canned (or other fruit of your
choice)
Instructions:
Use the butter to grease a 9 inch (approx 25 cm) pie pan. In a bowl beat
the egg yolk and mix in the applesauce, sugar, flour, milk, and almond
extract. In another bowl beat the egg whites and the salt until stiff but
not dry. Fold the egg whites into the applesauce mixture and pour into the
prepared pie pan. Drop the cherries into the batter - do not press down.
Bake in a 350F (180C) oven for 20 minutes, until the clafoutis is golden
and puffy, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serves 6
to 8.
