In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and remaining ¼ cup of sugar until pale. Whisk in the flour mixture, milk, créme fraiche and Calvados. Fold in the apples and their liquid. Pour the batter into six buttered and sugared, 12cm x 7cm shallow, oval baking dishes.
