  1 1/4         pounds  apples -- sliced 1/4" thick
                        (peeled too -- if you feel like
                        -- it)
  3        tablespoons  butter -- (or 4)
     1/4           cup  cognac
     1/8      teaspoon  cinnamon
     1/3           cup  granulated sugar
  3                     eggs
  1                cup  milk
     1/3           cup  granulated sugar
     1/8      teaspoon  salt
  1         tablespoon  vanilla
     2/3           cup  white flour -- sifted

Preparation:

Saut‚ the apples in the butter until the fragrance reaches a peak or until lightly browned. Remove from heat, add the cognac, cinnamon and sugar, stir, and let sit for 1/2 hour. Strain the liquid into a measuring cup, then add milk to make 1 1/4 cup. Heat the oven to 350øF. In a blender, food processor, mixer or bowl, mix the milk and the remaining ingredients to make a batter. Lightly butter a glass or ceramic baking dish and heat in the oven for a few minutes until hot. Pour in 1/8 to 1/4-inch of batter until set. Add the apples and cover with the remaining batter. Bake until a clean knife stuck into the center comes out clean (of egg, that is—the apple will stick to it) or about 1 hour. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm.
