Butter for the pan
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
About 1 pound ripe apricots, halved and pitted, 1 1/4 pounds sweet cherries, pitted, or 3 or 4 very ripe pears, stemmed, peeled, halved, and cored
3 eggs
1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup heavy cream or yogurt
3/4 cup milk
Pinch of salt
Confectioners sugar for garnish

1
Preheat the oven to 375F.
2
Butter a gratin dish that will hold the fruit in one layer; sprinkle it with the tablespoon of granulated sugar, then swirl the sugar around to coat all inner surfaces.
3
Lay the fruit in the dish, cut sides down.
4
Use a whisk to beat the eggs until foamy.
5
Add the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar and beat with a whisk or an electric mixer until foamy and fairly thick.
6
Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and use a small sharp knife to scrape the seeds into the eggs, discarding the pod, or add the vanilla extract.
7
Add the flour and continue to beat until thick and smooth.
8
Add the cream, milk, and salt.
9
Pour the batter over the fruit and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the clafouti is nicely browned on top and a knife inserted into it comes out clean.
10
Sift some confectioners sugar over it and serve warm or at room temperature.
