Better than warm apple pie, these carmelized apple crepes are scented with apple brandy.

Eight 6- or 7-inch dessert crêpes, flavored with calvados

3 Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apples

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon calvados or cognac (optional)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

3 tablespoons hazelnuts, toasted, skinned, and chopped

Powdered sugar for dusting

Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for garnish

DIRECTIONS

Prepare the crepes. Cover them with aluminum foil and keep warm in 200 degrees F. oven, or cover and reheat them in a baking pan in a preheated 325 degrees F. oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until heated through.

Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to sizzle. Add the apples, sprinkle with the sugar, and cook until the sugar turns amber, about 3 minutes. Gently saute the apples and sugar until tender, another 4 to 5 minutes. Gently mix in the optional Calvados or Cognac and cinnamon, if you like; add the nuts. Set aside.

Arrange a few slices of caramelized apples on one-quarter of each crepe. Fold each crêpe in half twice so it is triangular in shape. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Top with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream and serve at once.
