Steps:
- Prepare the crepe batter and cook the crepes according to this Crepe Recipe.
- If making the crepes the day before, stack them, place them in a freezer bag and store them in the refrigerator. If making them and serving them the same day, stack them on a place and keep at room temperature.
- Place the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground allspice and salt in a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Peel and chop the apples into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle with the lemon juice and toss the apples to coat them.
- Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, when it starts to bubble add the brown sugar and stir until the brown sugar-butter mixture until the sugar is thoroughly mixed in with the butter and just starts to bubble.
- Add the apples in a single layer, turn the heat up to medium-high heat and cook the apples until half the liquid is evaporated. When the apples are cooking at the beginning, they will release a lot of liquid, so the amount of liquid in the pan will increase by a lot. Add the spice mixture and stir to mix in the spices and continue to cook the apples until most of the liquid has evaporated and a thick syrup remains
- Occasionally stir the apples to make sure they don't burn, but for the most part let them cook undisturbed so they caramelize but are still a little firm by the time the liquid is evaporated and they have start caramelize.
- Remove the apples from the heat and spoon them into a wide bowl. Scrape the pan to get all the syrup.
