As a seasoned home baker with years of experience mastering French desserts, I can attest that cherry clafoutis is the iconic original—but also the priciest. The good news? Clafoutis adapts endlessly, and the apple version is the most wallet-friendly. It's every bit as delicious and far simpler to whip up.
