Apple clafoutis

It's always fun to make desert. This time I felt more, more than just fun, more than just excited, I felt nervous because of a good friend, she is super good at desert making, she taught me how to make desert and gave me good know how, is going to come. The feel is like that a pupil is going to present something to his teacher and nervous about if he will get a smile from his teacher. Oh I'd better to have a good result on desert :p
I got more than a smile. I think this recipe is very good, if you want to have a light desert that will earn many compliments, this is it!

For the batter:
- 4 egg white and 2 yolks
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup milk

For the filling:
- 2 apples and 1 pear
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoon rum

Cooking:
- put the ingredients for batter in a big bowl butter needs to be melted before putting into the bowl
- use the mixer to beat the batter for 5 min
- peel apples and pear
- remove the apple cores and pear core
- dice the apples and pear
- put 2 tablespoon butter in a skillet and melt it with medium heat
- put the diced apples and pear in
- put 1/3 cup sugar in
- put 3 tablespoon rum in
- stir the ingredients in the skillet well and wait 5 min until the cubes are warm and coated with sugar and rum
- preheat the oven to 400 degree
- put the pan to the oven and heat it for 4 min once the oven is ready
- take the pan out and put parchment paper in
- pour half amount batter in
- pour the coated cubes in
- be careful not to put juice from the skillet in
- pour the second half batter in to cover the cubes coarsely
- put the fully loaded pan to the oven

I always like to mix apples and pears. Pears are juicy. With pear the desert will be more favorable.
