How to Make Brandied Fruit Clafouti

  1. Combine 1 cup apricot slivers and 1/2 cup raisins in 1/2 cup brandy.
  2. Cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours) to allow the fruit to plump.
  3. The next day, drain the brandy from the raisins and apricots, reserving the brandy (optional: use for a boozy sauce later).
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Butter and sugar a 9 1/2-inch round baking dish.
  5. Spread the apricot and raisin mixture evenly in the prepared dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  6. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 4 large eggs and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and foamy.
  7. Add 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat to combine.
  8. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. The batter will be thin.
  9. Gently pour the batter over the fruit mixture in the prepared dish.
  10. Sprinkle with a bit more nutmeg.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the clafouti is puffed, golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
