Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 50g/2oz unsalted butter
• 2 large eating apples, quartered, cored
• and each quarter cut into three slices
• Pinch of ground cinnamon
• 50g/2oz Demerara sugar
• Dash of Calvados
• 8 thick slices of Rankin Selection
• Cinnamon & Raisin loaf
• Fresh blackberries, sprigs of mint and
• icing sugar to serve

Melt the butter in a frying pan until it foams, drop in the apple slices and sprinkle over the cinnamon. Fry until golden then add the sugar and Calvados – the sugar will dissolve in the Calvados and form a caramel with the butter tocoat the apple slices.

Meanwhile, toast the slices of loaf and place 2 onto each warm serving plate. Top with the apples, drizzle with sauce and decorate with blackberries, a sprig of mint and a sprinkling of icing sugar. Serve straightaway.
