rating:this sounds lovely, and would work with rhubarb or plums too, I'm sure.

serves 8
prep time 25 mins cook time 1hr
110g honey
75g unsalted butter
1.15kg eating apples, peeled cored and sliced
75g raisins
topping:
150g brioche
3 drops pure vanilla extract
150g ground almonds
150g cold unsalted butter, diced
calvados cream:
315g creme fraiche
2 tbsp calvados
75g icing sugar, sifted
preheat oven to 180/gas 4
heat the honey and butter in a medium pan. Stir in the apples and raising, transfer to a 1.5l oven proof dish. I'd butter that, although the recipe doesn't mention it.
whizz the brioche, crusts and all, in a food processor into crumbs. Add remaining topping ingredients and pulse until the mixture resembles fine crumbs - stop before it makes itself into a dough. Been there and done that.
evenly scatter this over the fruit, bake for 1 hour until lightly golden. After 20 minutes, cover with a tin foil hat to stop it burning. Also keeps out the alien rays, which is dead handy.
for Calvados cream, whisk the bits together and chill. Hot pudding, cold cream - I'm going to make this soon.
This sounds dreamy and looks delicious. Love apple puddings and desserts. I have gotta stop gawking and start actually cooking these recipes lol Thanks for posting this.
