This fruit pudding could not be easier to make! A traditional comfort food in France, clafoutis is often made with cherries. I use apples and maple syrup to give it a real midwestern flair. —Bridget Klusman, Otsego, Michigan


Test Kitchen tips
  • When it's pulled right out of the oven, this is a showstopping masterpiece, all puffed up and golden brown. However, when it sits, it will deflate a little bit. So if you're looking to impress folks, serve it hot out of the oven.
  • When perfectly ripe pears can be found, swap those in for the apples. Their delicate flavor will really shine through in this elegant dessert.
