Norman flambéed apples (Slideshow version)

Norman flambéed apples : Photo of step #26

Stage 9/9 : 5 min.

Pour cold real custard (crème anglaise) over and serve immediately.

Remarks

It is important to use clarified butter for stage 2, in place of normal butter, which tends to burn and leave little black bits on the apples that are not very appetising.

You can use another alcohol instead of Calvados, if you prefer. The Normandy link might be lost, but it would still taste very good.
