    How to Make this Recipe

    Peel, core, and slice apples into a large mixing bowl.

    Granny Smith apples sliced and on a cutting board.

    Add dried cranberries (if desired), and then lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice. Toss to coat.

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let set for about half an hour.

    Sliced apples mixed with spices and Craisins.

    In a cast iron skillet or other heavy pan over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar together, stirring frequently. When mixture begins to bubble, add salt and reduce temperature to medium low.

    Add prepared apple mixture and bring to mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently. Cook apples until they are no longer crunchy, but still have some texture to them. (You don’t want applesauce!)

        I love crepes, you can put almost any filling inside but this one looks especially scrumptious. Will definitely give it a try.

        Is it wrong or right that I want to add some sprinkle of cheddar in this? Maybe more generous than a sprinkle... Happy Holidays!

          I'm very big on cheese with apple-anything, so I'd say Go for It, Pech!

        I'm always a bit intimidated to make crepes, but this filling and the lovely toppings may have me convinced to give it a try!

          Erin, crepes are so much easier than you may imagine. Check my Sweet Vanilla Crepe post, and try to think of them a thin, fancy pancakes, because really, that's all they are.

        How fancy! Sounds delicious! I haven't had crepes in years but might try making them sometime with an alternative flour. They are so fun to make in the pan!

        What a beautiful looking dish! I would even eat the filling on its own, for sure, but those crepes look irresistible. I imagine this dish does make your house smell amazing and very festive, too!
