Apricot Clafoutis is a traditional French dessert that originated in the Limousin region of France. Clafoutis is typically made with black cherries, but can be made with other fruits like apricots, plums, and peaches. The dessert is like a cross between a cake and a custard and is popular during summer when fruits are in abundance. It is a rustic dessert that is simple to make but looks impressive, making it perfect for entertaining guests. In this recipe, canned apricots are used, making it an easy and convenient option.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 180C/350F and grease a 22cm/9in round baking dish.
2.	Drain the apricots and arrange them in the bottom of the dish.
3.	In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and almonds. Add the eggs, egg yolks, and double cream and whisk until smooth.
4.	Pour the mixture over the apricots.
5.	Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the clafoutis is set.
6.	Allow to cool slightly before serving with a sprinkle of icing sugar and some cream, if desired.
