This is an Alsatian pudding that is traditionally served during cherry season in France, but you

can make this delightful dessert any time of the year using fresh apples, peaches, or cherries

when they’re available or frozen or canned fruit at other times of the year.

 

·         3 cups fresh, pitted cherries, whole or sliced apples, or peaches, tossed with 2 Tbs. sugar*

·         3 eggs

·         1½ c. milk (rice or soy milk is ok)

·         ½ c. sugar

·         Pinch of salt

·         1 tsp. gluten-free vanilla

·         ¾ c. rice flour

·         ¼ c. sweet rice flour

·         ½ tsp. xanthan gum

·         ½ tsp. baking powder

 

Beat all ingredients (except fruit) together until smooth (about 1 min.). Preheat oven to 350º.

Butter a 9-inch deep dish pie pan and line with fruit. Pour 1/3 of batter over the fruit and bake 15 minute, just until fruit is set. Add remaining batter and bake 45 minutes. Serve warm with powdered sugar or ice cream.

 

*For a quick version use a 14.5 oz. can of cherries or peaches, drained and tossed with 2 Tbs.

sugar.
