CHERRY AND APRICOT CLAFOUTIS



Cherry and Apricot Clafoutis image

Cherries and apricots are both in season together, and combine nicely in many desserts. I use half almond flour and half all-purpose flour in this clafoutis. Serve it warm or at room temperature, and eat leftovers for breakfast.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 pound ripe cherries, stemmed and pitted
3/4 pound ripe apricots, halved and pitted
2 tablespoons Kirsch
6 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup (40 grams) unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup (35 grams) almond flour
3 eggs
1 vanilla bean, scraped, or 1 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of salt
2/3 cup low-fat yogurt

Steps:

  • Toss the cherries and apricots with the Kirsch and 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and let sit for 30 minutes. Drain over a bowl. Sift together the all-purpose flour and almond flour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9- or 10-inch ceramic tart pan or clafoutis dish. Arrange the drained cherries and apricots in the dish.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the remaining sugar and the seeds from the vanilla bean or vanilla. Add the salt and the liquid from the cherries and apricots and combine well. Slowly beat in the sifted flours and whisk until smooth. Add the yogurt and combine well. Pour over the fruit, scraping out all of the batter with a rubber spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, until the top is browned and the clafoutis is firm and puffed. Press gently on the top in the middle to see if it's firm. If it isn't, return to the oven for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SALTED APRICOT-HONEY COBBLER



Salted Apricot-Honey Cobbler image

Unlike most cobblers, which ask you to chop or slice the fruit, this one is meant to preserve the integrity of the apricots, which bake until totally tender, jammy and saucy, while still maintaining their shape and texture. The idea is to spoon out one of the barely sweetened, oaty shortcakes from the pan and then top it with the roasted, honey-sweetened fruit. Ice cream is optional but recommended.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/3 cups/175 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/55 grams quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into 1-inch pieces, chilled
1/2 cup/120 milliliters heavy cream, plus more for brushing shortcakes
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
2 pounds/900 grams apricots, pitted and halved (or quartered if very large)
1/4 cup/60 milliliters honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons fresh lime or lemon juice
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make the shortcake topping: Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Using your hands, rub the butter into the flour mixture until there are no large chunks left. Add 1/2 cup heavy cream and mix just until blended, then turn the dough out onto lightly floured work surface.
  • Knead dough just until it's no longer super-sticky, and then pat the dough out so it's 1-inch thick. (The shape here doesn't matter; you'll be cutting out circles.) Using a 2-inch-round cutter, or something approximately that size (water glasses and Mason jars also work), punch out as many shortcakes as you can. Gently gather and re-pat the scraps so they're 1-inch thick and repeat until all the dough is used. You should have 8 or 9 shortcakes.
  • Prepare the filling: Toss apricots with honey, cornstarch, lime juice and kosher salt in a 2-quart baking dish (an 8-by-11-inch or 9-by-13-inch dish will work), then flip the fruit so they are all cut-side up. The apricot pieces will overlap a bit, and this is fine. Top with shortcakes; they will puff and spread quite a bit, so leave them well spaced. The idea is to have lots of fruit exposed once baked, so don't worry about the shortcakes covering every square inch. Brush the shortcakes with cream, and sprinkle with a little bit of sugar and flaky sea salt.
  • Bake until shortcakes are golden brown and the juices of the apricot have thickened and bubbled up around the edges of the baking dish, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool slightly before eating (though it's even better at room temperature). This cobbler is the best the day it's made, but it can be baked a day ahead and stored tightly wrapped at room temperature.

SO-EASY CHERRY COBBLER



So-Easy Cherry Cobbler image

I discovered this recipe on the box of a Sara Lee pound cake. It is extremely simple to prepare, but has great flavor and presentation. We love it served with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping. Blueberry pie filling, or a combination of fresh blueberries, raspberries, sliced peaches or pitted cherries (to make 2 cups) combined with 3/4 cup apricot jam could be substituted for the cherry pie filling for variations on the cobbler.

  • Serve the cobbler warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream: This will make it even more delicious!
