The recipe at right is quite forgiving and allows for all manner of fooling around. Choose a single variety of apple or toss in a mix. Add nothing more than butter and sugar, or play with a little spice. When I'm craving pure, undiluted nostalgia, I stick to cinnamon and perhaps the tiniest pinch of clove. When I find myself dreaming of tarte Tatin, I turn to star anise to give the apples warmth and depth. Calvados provides sophistication. Raisins, texture. Ginger, heat. Demerara sugar, crunch.
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.
