Preparation

Step 1

1 For Calvados crème fraîche, combine ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth, refrigerate until required.
2 Combine dessert wine, sugar, Calvados and orange rind in a deep-sided frying pan, stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and boil for 7-8 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, trim 1cm from ends of apples, then halve crossways, removing seeds. Add apple to syrup in a single layer, reduce heat to low-medium and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until apples are tender, remove from heat, turn apples and stand for 10 minutes. Serve warm with Calvados crème fraîche.
