  1. Quarter the apples, cut out the cores and trim the ends. Heat the butter in a frying pan and toss in the apple wedges and sage. Cook for 2 mins, then sprinkle in the golden caster sugar and continue cooking for about 5 mins, stirring gently until golden and softened. Pour in the Calvados and cautiously flambé. Season lightly and keep warm until ready to serve.

    Delicious.. and so easy! A touch of cinnamon and some cream or ice cream and this would make a lovely dessert as well.

    Do you think this recipe could work without Calvados or maybe it could be replaced with something else? Appreciate any suggestions.
