DIY Peach and Raspberry Dutch Baby

One of Tom's favorite desserts is the "Dutch Baby" which is similar to a pie or cobbler. We've made it with so many different fruits and it's always fabulous. It's easy to make and so fun to watch it puff up and then deflate. Sometimes the shapes are somewhat comical. Anyway, here we are at the end of peach season and we couldn't resist creating another Dutch Baby using the fabulous peaches we've been buying at the local farmer's market. We haven't changed the basic ingredients as it always turns out so well. The only thing we change is the fruit that we use. So here 'tis...

Serves: 4-6 
Prep Time: 30 minutes 
Cook Time: 20 minutes 

INGREDIENTS: 
1 lb. peaches
1/2 lb. apricots
1/2 lb. fresh strawberries
1/2 lb. fresh blueberries
1/2 C maple syrup
3 t unsalted butter
1/2 C all purpose flour
1/2 C milk
1 pinch salt
2 eggs
3 T sugar
1/2 t vanilla extract
Powdered sugar or sour cream as garnish if desired

PREPARATION: 
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
2. Pit and slice the peaches and apricots. Put in a 10" shallow baking dish and add the maple syrup and toss to coat.
3. Combine the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt in a mixing bowl and whisk together until smooth.
4. Melt butter in a 10" pie plate in the oven. Remove the plate when butter is melted and add the flour mixture while the butter is still hot. Put the pie plate and the baking dish holding the fruit mixture in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the fruit when it is bubbling (18-20 minutes). The flour mixture will puff up and become distorted. When it turns light brown, remove it from the oven. Place on a trivet to cool. It will start deflating immediately.
5. Add the berries to the fruit mixture and stir.
6. When the flour mixture has cooled, put the fruit on top of it.

PLATING:
Cut into 4-6 pieces and serve serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or sprinkled with powdered sugar.

NOTE:
You may substitute almost any fruits that are in season but it may take a little experimentation to decide which should be baked and which served raw.

Bon appetit,
Tom and Anita
