Instant Pot Caramel Apple Pear Clafoutis Recipes

CARAMEL APPLE PEAR PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the sugar, 2 tablespoons of the cornstarch and the salt in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, dulce de leche and eggs until well combined. Add the egg mixture to the cornstarch mixture and whisk to combine.
• Halve and core the pear. Cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices. Add the slices to a bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons cornstarch and toss to completely coat the fruit.
• To assemble the pie and bake, place the baked deep-dish pie crust on a baking sheet. Lay the dried apple slices in a single layer on the bottom of the crust. Fan the pear slices out in a circle over the apple slices. Stir any excess cornstarch from the pears into the custard filling and pour the filling over the top of the pears.
• Bake the pie until the center is set and the pears are slightly golden brown, about 1 hour. Let cool to room temperature.
• Before serving, dust the top of the pie with ground cinnamon. Heat some dulce de leche in a microwave for 30 seconds and stir to loosen. Drizzle over the top of the pie and serve.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt and pulse to mix. Add the butter and pulse to a coarse meal (the butter should be in pea-size pieces). With the motor running, stream in the water until the dough starts to come together. Dump out the mixture, gather into a ball, press to a disk and wrap well in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, and up to overnight.
• Spray a 9-inch deep-dish glass pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. Remove the dough from the fridge, unwrap and transfer to a floured surface. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared pie plate. Dock with a fork and crimp the edges between your fingers to make a decorative border, removing any excess dough. Freeze the crust for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Line the crust with a sheet of parchment paper and fill with pie weights or uncooked beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and weights, brush with the beaten egg and continue to bake until the crust is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.

INSTANT POT® PEAR-APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl halfway with water. Add lemon juice and mix. Peel, core, and slice apples and pears, putting them in the lemon water to prevent browning.
• Drain fruit; do not rinse. Place drained fruit, 1/4 cup water, and cinnamon stick in a multi-functional electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Set the Manual mode to high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, up to 15 minutes. Unlock lid. Remove and discard cinnamon stick. Pass the cooked fruit through a food mill; sauce will be slightly coarse. Blend fruit with an immersion blender for a smoother sauce.

INSTANT POT CARAMEL APPLE-PEAR CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil and position a rack in the upper part of the oven. Coat a 7-inch round cake pan with nonstick spray.
• Line the bottom of the pan with the pear and apple slices. Whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, flour, almond liquor, vanilla bean seeds, 1/4 teaspoon orange zest, 1/3 cup orange juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
• Pour the batter on top of the apples and pears and cover the pan tightly with foil. Place 1 1/2 cups water in the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Place the steamer rack in the pot and put the pan on the rack. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set the pot to pressure cook on high for 15 minutes (see Cook's Note). After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid.
• Remove the foil from the pan and sprinkle the top of the cake with the turbinado sugar. Broil until the sugar is melted and turning a deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Let sit at room temperature until the sugar has hardened, about 10 minutes. Scoop onto plates and serve with a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprinkle of almonds.
