Preheat oven to 375°.
Carefully butter a 3-quart
casserole or deep oval baking
dish.
Combine apples and lemon
juice in a large bowl and toss well.
Add brown sugar, 114 cup gran-
ulated sugar, lemon zest, spices,
dried fruits, Calvados, 1/4 cup of
flour, and cornstarch. Toss thor-
oughly.
Combine the remaining sug-
ar and flour with baking powder
and salt. Using a pastry blender,
your fingers, or a fork, blend in
the butter until the mixture looks
like coarse cornmeal. Pour in the
beaten eggs and mix just until
mixture holds together. Dough
will be coarse and lumpy. Dis-
tribute this dough evenly over
the fruit. Sprinkle the cobbler
with sugar and cinnamon mix-
ture, then bake in the preheated
oven for about 50 minutes, or un-
til top is nicely browned and
crusty and juices are bubbling.
Serve warm.
