Description

Clafoutis is a traditional French dessert that combines the characteristics of a casserole and a pie. The classic version is made with fresh cherries with pits, but nowadays cherry clafoutis is more often made with canned pitted fruit. There are also peach, apple, and pear clafoutis, where the fruits are cut into pieces the size of cherries.
