Maple Pear Clafoutis

Jen Sobjack

If you're looking for a dessert to impress guests, try this maple pear clafoutis made with fresh pears and real maple syrup. Top with powdered sugar for a simple but decadent dessert.

Barlett or D'Anjou pears are the best options for this recipe. They have good flavor, firm texture, and tend to be less "mealy". The skin should be slightly yellow instead of green. Overripe pears will disintegrate when baked.
