FRUIT FLAN  
Peel and thinly slice the apples and the pears. Place them in a shallow casserole, with the sugar and the vanilla sugar and gently cook for 30 minutes, until stewed and translucent. Beat the eggs and the hot milk in a mixing bowl, then mix into the stewed apples and pears. Prepare a caramel in a sauce pan, by moistening and heating the sugar. Completely line the mould with the caramel and fill with the stewed fruit mixture. Bake in a bain-marie for approximately 45 minutes. When the centre of the flan seems firm to the touch, it is ready. Take out of the oven, leave to cool then refrigerate. Unmold when about to serve.
