Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup plus 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups halved and pitted cherries, or pitted and sliced apricots
• Powdered sugar (for serving; optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place butter in a 2–3-qt. shallow baking dish or medium (10") ovenproof skillet. Transfer to preheating oven and heat until butter has melted, about 4–6 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, blend eggs, milk, lemon zest, salt, vanilla, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar in a blender until frothy, about 2 minutes. Add flour and blend just until combined.
3. Pour batter into hot baking dish. Arrange fruit evenly over. Sprinkle with remaining 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar. Bake clafoutis until top is puffed and lightly golden brown, 25–35 minutes. Let cool slightly, then sift powdered sugar over (if using). Serve warm.
