Apple Brandy Infused Crepes with Caramelized Apple Filling

1. Prepare the Crepe Batter

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2.5 cups of whole milk, and 1.25 cups of water. Use an electric mixer to blend these ingredients until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. This should take about 5-10 minutes. Once smooth, add in 2 lightly beaten large eggs, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of Calvados. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 1 hour.

2. Prepare the Apple Filling

Peel, core, and quarter 2 pounds of Golden Delicious apples. To prevent them from turning brown, toss the apple pieces in the juice of half a lemon. Place the apples in a saucepan with 4-5 tablespoons of water and cook over medium heat until they are soft, about 15-20 minutes. Once soft, mash the apples with a potato masher until you have a chunky applesauce consistency. Stir in 6 tablespoons of sugar and 0.25 cups of Calvados. Mix well and set aside.

3. Cook the Crepes

After the batter has rested, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with sunflower oil using a paper towel. Pour a small amount of batter into the skillet, just enough to cover the bottom in a thin layer. Cook until the bottom of the crepe is lightly browned, then flip and cook the other side. Repeat until all the batter is used.

4. Fill the Crepes

Place a spoonful of the apple filling onto each crepe and roll them up. Arrange the filled crepes in a baking dish.

5. Finish and Serve

Drizzle the filled crepes with 0.25 cups of Calvados and sprinkle with 0.25 cups of superfine sugar. Preheat your oven to 400°F and bake the crepes for 10-20 minutes, or until they are heated through. Serve warm.
