A delicious recipe originating from Normandy in France. PS The original recipe calls for 1. 15kg of apples, not 1 1/4 kg (I can't work out how to input this amount - sorry.
Ingredients:
110 g honey
75 g unsalted butter
1 1/4 kg apples, peeled, quartered, cored and sliced
75 g raisins
150 g brioche bread
150 g light muscovado sugar
3 drops vanilla extract
150 g ground almonds
150 g unsalted butter (cold and diced)
315 g creme fraiche
2 tablespoons calvados
75 g icing sugar, sifted
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 C, fan 160 C, gas mark 4.
2. Heat the honey and butter in a medium sized sauce pan, stir in the apples and raisins then transfer to a 1.5 litre ovenproof dish.
3. Without removing the crusts from the brioche, whiz it to crumbs in a food processor; Add the remaining topping ingredients and pulse until the mixture resembles fine crumbs (stop before the mixture turns into a dough).
4. Evenly scatter topping crumbs over the fruit and bake for 1 hour until lightly golden and the fruit is bubbling at the edges; cover with foil after the first 20 minutes of the cooking foil so it doesn’t get too brown.
5. Serve the pudding hot, 10 - 15 minutes out of the oven, with Calvados Cream.
6. Calvados Cream: whisk the ingredients together in a bowl, cover and chill until required.
