Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch round baking dish with 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, then evenly scatter 1 cup pitted Door County cherries and 1 medium thinly sliced Granny Smith apple over the bottom.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
Step 3: Pour the custard batter evenly over the fruit in the baking dish. Bake in the center rack for 35-40 minutes until the clafoutis is puffed, golden around the edges, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 4: Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
