Autumn Clafoutis with Sweet Potato and Apple

Prior to moving to Dubai, I never heard of a clafoutis before. Its a beautiful and delicate French pastry with a flan-like batter. It’s typically baked with plumbs or cherries, but the batter is so basic you can use any fruit or combinations of flavors you like. I love desserts that can be a blank canvas! Since fall is here, I went with sweet potatoes and cinnamon apples to create the most perfect apple and sweet potato clafoutis.
