METHOD
In a mixing bowl whisk together the egg, milk, half the castor sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. Soak the brioche in the egg mixture for a couple of minutes.
Peel an apple, cut in half, remove the core and cut each half into two, cut each quarter into three.
In a mixing bowl add the remaining sugar and cinnamon and toss the apple slices until they are well coated.
Melt 10g of butter in a non stick frying pan, add the apples and allow to brown over a reasonably high heat, turn them over and brown the other side.
In a non stick frying pan melt the remaining 10g of butter. Carefully drain the slice of brioche and fry for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Drain the brioche on kitchen paper and position on a warm serving plate.
Pour the Calvados over the hot apples and carefully flame it.
Spoon the apples and sauce over the brioche and serve.
