2 tbsp. unsalted butter
3 red or golden delicious apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2 inch wedges
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
2/3 c. all purpose flour
4 lg. eggs
1 c. milk
2 tbsp. calvados or apple jack
Confectioners sugar

Heat the butter in an 8 inch skillet. Add the apples and toss to coat. Add half the sugar and the cinnamon and cook for about 2 minutes to soften the apples. This may be done ahead.

An hour before serving, heat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the remaining sugar, flour, egg, milk, and calvados in a blender and process until smooth. With a slotted spoon, remove the apples from the skillet to a 1 1/2 inch deep, 10 inch round ceramic quiche pan or pie plate. Add the apple liquid to the batter and process just to mix.

Pour batter over the apples in pan and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until browned, puffed and set. If a knife stuck into the center comes out clean, it is done. Dust confectioners sugar on top. Serve immediately for the best effect, although it tastes fine at room temperature. Serves 8.
