Instructions

1. 1
   Melt 2 tbsp of the butter in a large stainless steel skillet over medium heat.
2. 2
   Add apples and cook, tossing often, until lightly browned around edges. Remove and keep warm.
3. 3
   Add sugar, salt, orange, and cinnamon to pan. Scrape with a metal whisk to loosen browned bits.
4. 4
   Melt in butter, 1 tbsp at a time, while whisking continuously. Once all butter has been melted, bring to a boil (the fiercer the boil, the flashier the show).
5. 5
   Carefully add brandy and, if it hasn't ignited by itself, do so with a long match or a firestick.
6. 6
   Add apples and cook 1–2 minutes, depending on how soft you want your apples.
7. 7
   Remove apples from pan and drizzle with sauce. Serve warm.
