CARMELIZED APPLE FLAN
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons butter
2 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup brandy
6 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup half-and-half
Place the sugar in a saucepan, and moisten it with the water without stirring. Bring to a boil and cook until light golden brown. Immediately pour the caramel into an 8 to 9 cup mold (a cake pan will do) and swirl and tilt the mold to coat it with the caramel, including the walls.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large skillet, melt the butter and let it foam. Add the apples and cook on medium low heat, covered, for 15 minutes. Add the brandy and flame it, then continue to cook, shaking the pan, for 2 minutes or so.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and cinnamon. Stir in the half-and-half and the apples. Pour this custard into the caramel-lined mold and bake in a water bath for 50 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. Remove the flan from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Run a knife around the edge of the mold then turn the flan out onto a serving platter. Pour any caramel sauce from the mold over the flan.

STRAWBERRY FRUIT FLAN
1/2 cup Unsalted Margarine
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Margarine
3/4 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
2 Tablespoons Evaporated Milk
1/4 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1 1/4 cups Flour
2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
1 lb. Fresh Strawberries (or more)
3 Tablespoons Sugar
1 pk Red Transparent Glaze
In small bowl, mix margarine, sugar and eggs until creamy. Add evaporated milk and vanilla.
In another bowl, sift flour and baking powder
together. Stir into margarine mixture in small amounts.
Grease a 12 inch fruit flan tin with a fluted rim.
Sprinkle with flour. Pour in mixture and spread evenly with a knife.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes after removing from oven.
Drain strawberries; reserve juice. Turn cake upside down and fill with strawberries. (If strawberries are very large, you may want to slice them in half.
Sprinkle with sugar and allow to sit for 1 hour.) Add the strawberry juice to the glaze mix. Prepare glaze, following instructions on back of package. (NOTE: If you have accumulated approximately 1/2 cup of juice from the strawberries, and the glaze mix requires 1 cup of water, use the 1/2 cup of juice plus 1/2 cup of
water to make 1 cup of liquid.) Pour glaze over
strawberries.
