Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

the original is prepared with cherries

Blanch the apricots briefly, peel, pit, and cut into cherry-sized pieces. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, egg, 1/3 of the sugar, salt, and vanilla bean seeds until frothy. Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a smaller bowl, combine the flour and almonds and carefully fold them into the egg yolk mixture using a wooden spatula or dough scraper. Beat the egg whites until semi-stiff, gradually adding the remaining sugar. Now whisk the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Grease an oval baking dish (approx. 30 cm long) with butter and add the apricot pieces. Fill with the mixture. Bake for about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and dust with powdered sugar. Tip: Make the clafoutis with apples (and Calvados), with plums (and Slivovitz), with cherries (and cherry liqueur), and more.
