In our region of Limousin, clafoutis is a cake made exclusively with cherries immersed in a batter. If you use another fruit, it's no longer a clafoutis... but a delicious variation, like this version with Limousin Golden apples. So, since it's local, we asked Chantal, also known as @lacuisinedeblanche on Instagram, to share her best recipe for making a successful flognarde every time!
