APPLES WITH CALVADOS AND ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Peel the apples, and cut them into 12 slices, making sure to remove the cores and stems. There should be about 4 cups.
• Melt the butter in a skillet, and add the apple slices and the lemon peel. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, and cook over medium-high heat, gently stirring the apples and shaking the skillet so that they cook evenly. When the apples start to brown, add the Calvados. Turn up the heat, and tilt the pan. Then ignite the sauce with a long match. (The alcohol will burn off quickly.) Blend well.
• Put a scoop of ice cream into each of four individual serving dishes. Pour the apples on top and serve.
