Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish generously with Jersey butter.
Arrange the sliced Jersey apples evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, caster sugar, and salt until light and frothy.
Gradually whisk in the sifted plain flour until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
Slowly pour in the Jersey milk, whisking continuously until fully incorporated.
Add the melted Jersey butter, vanilla extract, and Calvados to the batter. Stir gently to combine.
Pour the batter evenly over the sliced apples in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is golden brown and set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Let the clafoutis cool slightly before dusting generously with icing sugar.
Serve warm or at room temperature. A dollop of Jersey cream is optional but recommended!
Nutrition per serving (160g)
For an extra depth of flavour, lightly sauté the apple slices in Jersey butter with a tablespoon of caster sugar before arranging them in the baking dish.
Do not overbake the clafoutis, as it will become dry. It should still have a slight jiggle in the center when removed from the oven.
If the top is browning too quickly, cover the dish loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
If you don't have Calvados, you can substitute it with apple juice or apple cider vinegar.
