Steps:
- Quarter and core the apples and cut into smallish dice - a bit smaller than canned pineapple cubes. Put half the butter in a frying pan (you will need a lid for it later), heat until foaming, then tip in the apples. Fry for 7-10 minutes, turning more or less constantly, until golden brown all over and just tender when prodded with a knife. Lift out and set aside.
- Melt the remaining butter in the pan and fry the chopped shallots for 2-3 minutes. Move them to the sides of the pan so they don't start to burn, then put the chicken in, skin side down. Cook the chicken, without moving it, for 3-4 minutes until browned, then turn it over and cook in the same way for another 3-4 minutes.
- Heat about one third of the calvados in a ladle or small pan. Remove from the heat and set light to it with a match, then pour it over the chicken in the pan, stirring to burn off the fat. Repeat with the remaining calvados, in two batches.
- Pour in the stock and season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer very gently for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and tender. Lift the chicken on to a board and set aside to rest for a few minutes.
- Vigorously bubble the remaining juices in the uncovered pan for a couple of minutes, to reduce, then stir in the apples and crème fraîche and keep the pan over a low heat.
- Carve each breast thickly into 6 or 7 diagonal slices and transfer them to warmed plates, keeping the slices together by lifting them with a fish slice or wide palette knife. Check the seasoning of the sauce and spike with a touch of lemon juice, then spoon over the chicken. Sprinkle with parsley and eat.

POULET à LA NORMANDE
This simple, classic braise from northern France brings together the fall flavors of sweet apples, yeasty cider, cream and chicken. The only trick is flambéing the Calvados or brandy, which gives it a toasty flavor - it's literally playing with fire, so if you'd prefer not to do that, you can stay safe and get very similar results by pouring the liquor in off-heat, and gently simmering it to evaporate the alcohol.

Steps:
- Pat the chicken very dry with paper towels, and season well with salt and pepper. Heat the fat in a large Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Brown the chicken, in batches if necessary, skin side down until deep golden, 6 to 8 minutes, then flip, and sear the other side until golden, another 3 minutes.
- If flambéing: Make sure there is nothing flammable near or above your stove. Gently warm the Calvados in a saucepan over medium heat. When the chicken is well browned, protect your hand, and use a long kitchen match to light the liquor on fire, then carefully pour it into the chicken pan. The flame can shoot over 2 feet high, so be careful. Cook until the flame subsides. If not flambéing: Once the chicken is browned, turn off the heat, and add the Calvados. When the sizzling subsides, turn the heat on to medium low, bring the liquid to a simmer and cook for 4 minutes to evaporate the alcohol.
- Add the cider and onions, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Turn the heat down to a very gentle simmer. Quickly peel and core the apples, and cut them into 1 1/2-inch chunks, and place them on top of the chicken. Cover the pan, and cook, checking occasionally to ensure the liquid is maintaining a gentle simmer, not boiling, until the chicken is just cooked through, 35-40 minutes.
- Remove the chicken, onions and apples to a platter, and cover. Make a slurry with the cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of cold water. Stir this into the braising liquid, and bring to a simmer for 1 minute, until thickened. Stir in the crème fraîche, and season the sauce with salt to taste, replace the chicken, onions and apples in the sauce and serve with crusty bread and a salad.

CHICKEN WITH TARRAGON & CALVADOS
Tarragon and chicken just go together. Enuf said. I don't usually buy a whole bottle of expensive Calvados. Most large liquor warehouse-type stores sell the tiny little bottles - which I use for the occasional recipe.

Steps:
- Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Melt 3 tablespoons butter over high heat and add chicken, skin side down. Cook until golden brown, then turn.
- Sprinkle with half the tarragon and ALL of the shallots. Cover and cook on low heat for 15 minutes.
- Uncover and sprinkle with the white wine. Recover and cook on low for another 15 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and keep covered while making the sauce.
- Add 1 cup of the cream to the skillet. Stir well. Blend the flour with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and add it, a little at a time, to the simmering sauce. Add just enough to make the desired consistency. Cook five minutes, then stir in the Calvados or applejack, and add the remaining cream.
- Put the chicken back into the pan, spooning the sauce over to warm it up. Spinkle with the remaining tarragon and serve immediately.

CHICKEN BREASTS CALVADOS (CROCK POT)
Easily adapted for whatever you have on hand. I often substitute thighs for the breasts, regular brandy or apple juice for the apple brandy, and if you can't find Havarti Cheese, Gouda or Colby work well. If you have a newer model slow cooker, this will cook in 4-5 hours, as opposed to 6-7.

- Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large, deep ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring a few times, until browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a large bowl.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and add to the skillet, skin side down. Cook over moderately high heat until browned, about 4 minutes. Turn the chicken and brown the other side, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken to the mushrooms and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the skillet.
- Add the chopped apples to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat until browned, about 2 minutes. Add the shallots and garlic and cook over low heat, stirring a few times, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the flour. Add the Calvados and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the chicken stock, cider, caraway seeds and crushed red pepper and bring to a simmer.
- Return the chicken pieces to the skillet, skin side up, along with any accumulated juices. Braise the chicken in the oven for about 20 minutes, until the breast meat is just cooked. Transfer the breast pieces to a large ovenproof platter. Continue braising the remaining chicken until cooked through, about 10 minutes longer. Add to the platter and keep warm.

- Place the chicken breasts, 1 at a time, between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound to ¼-inch thickness. (You can also halve each breast horizontally or butterfly them.) Season both sides with salt and pepper, to taste.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken (in batches, if necessary) and cook, turning once, until no longer pink inside, 6-8 minutes (reduce the heat to medium if the meat browns too quickly). Transfer the chicken to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Stir in the shallot and sauté briefly until translucent. Remove the pan from heat and add the broth and calvados, taking care not to let the liquid spatter. Return the pan to the stove and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring with a wire whisk to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the apples. Let the mixture boil until the liquid is reduced to ¼ cup, turning the apples occasionally — this should take about 4 minutes, depending on the stove and the pan size (it will take closer to 7 minutes if you substitute apple juice and wine for the calvados).
