Burgundy specialty dessert, Flamusse aux Pommes recipe

Preparation Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C.

2. Beat the eggs with 1/4 cup sugar, add flour and salt. Pour the milk slowly, mixing well, and let it rest for 10 minutes.

3. Peel, core and slice the apples. Cook them in a skillet with the butter until they get golden brown.

4. Place the apples in a baking dish (13X9 inch/ 33X23 cm) and pour the batter over them. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes or until the top is golden.

5. Remove from oven and sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Serve the Flamusse slightly warm or cold.

 

Wine Pairing Tips: Since there are practically no dessert wines made in Burgundy, serve this apple based dessert with a late harvest Pinot Gris from the Alsace region, or a Loire dessert wine such as a Coteaux du Layon.
