4 apples peeled, cored, and sliced thin (used Granny Smith and Golden Delicious)
Juice ½ lemon
1 cube butter, melted and browned, set aside to cool plus more to butter the pan
½ C milk
1 C sugar plus more to sprinkle in the pan
1 t vanilla
Pinch salt
2 eggs
1/2 C flour
Heat oven to 375. Butter a 9-inch spring form pan and sprinkle with sugar. Wrap the bottom of the pan in foil so that none of the batter drips out the bottom. Place the pan on a cookie sheet.
Place the apples in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice. Combine the remaining ingredients in a blender and process until smooth, pour over apples and combine well. Pour into the prepared pan, smooth out the top and bake about an hour until the top is golden and the clafouti looks firm. Allow to cool at least 15 minutes in the pan before serving. Run a knife around the edge of the pan before loosening to serve. The apples will stick to the side and impact the shape of your slice.
