Apricot clafoutis with almond cream
For this recipe for apricot clafoutis, we start in the classic way, with fruit and pastry, but halfway through baking, we place a thin layer of almond cream on top.
The almond cream will add to the softness of the clafoutis, and after baking, a delicious colored crust for a very, very tasty clafoutis.

Remarks
We bake in 2 stages so that we can pour the almond cream onto a clafoutis where the mixture has already started to set, otherwise it will mix with the raw mixture, and we won't get the same result.
As always with clafoutis, the proportions of fruit and pastry are indicative, so adapt them to the size of your dish.

Macarons (the original French macaroons)
This recipe really is "of the moment": the success of these small, highly-coloured cakes, in an infinite variety of flavours, is impressive.
