Method for Normande Crêpe Aumônière:
1
Before starting this Normandy-style Crêpe Aumônière recipe, make sure you have organised all the necessary ingredients.

5
In a saucepan, melt a knob of butter.
6
Add the apples pieces...
7
... followed by the sugar...
8
... and a few raisins...

... then cook over low heat until it has the consistency of a fruit compote.
10
In a separate saucepan, pour 250 grams of sugar and 10cl of water.
11
Bring to a boil...
12
... and cook until it turns to a pale blonde caramel.
13
Deglaze with whipping cream...

15
Add the Calvados and flambé.
16
Place a crêpe on the kitchen worktop.
17
Fill with the apple and raisin preparation...
18

19
Seal the crêpe with a wooden pick.
20
Repeat the same operation with the remaining crêpes.
21
Display the warm crêpe aumônière on a big plate and pour warm caramel sauce on top. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
