Provided by Marylee

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup Demerara sugar, plus more to taste, depending on the tartness of the apples
1 star anise or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 crisp apples, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup Calvados or Apple Jack
Vanilla ice cream or crème fraîche, for serving

Steps:

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and cook until it foams. Once foaming subsides, stir in sugar and spice and cook 1 minute to allow flavors to meld. 2. Lay apples into pan in a single layer and cook until fruit begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes. 3. Pour Calvados into pan. Use a long match or candle lighter to ignite alcohol. Boil until flames subside, 1 minute. Remove from heat and serve with ice cream or crème fraîche.
