Clafoutis is originally from the Limousin region of central France where, in the local dialect, it translates as "brimming over". It is one of the easiest desserts to make: a sweet batter is poured into a baking dish "brimming" with the fruit of your choice, and baked. Traditionally, cherries native to the region were used however in this one we have used caramelised apples.
