Clafoutis with apricots and almond flakes

Clafoutis is a traditional French dessert originally from the Limousin region. This classic dish is usually made with unpitted Morello cherries baked in a flan. This easy-to-make dessert can be varied to suit your tastes. For example, you can add almond flour or flavourings (vanilla, orange blossom water, rum, lemon, etc.). The cherries can be substituted for other fruits, such as plums, apples, mirabelle plums, pears, strawberries, prunes, raspberries, peaches, etc. Try our version with fresh apricots and flaked almonds. Ideal for enjoying a delicious clafoutis even when the cherry season is over. Ready?
