Steps:
- For the apple-cinnamon puree: Puree the roasted apples and their juices in a food processor or blender. Combine the apple puree with the lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened and reduced slightly, about 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature and store in a sanitized jar for up to a month.
- For the salted caramel: Heat the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, until the sugar turns golden. Stir until all of the sugar is dissolved and just starting to turn a lovely amber color.
- Turn heat to low, add the butter and stir to combine. Careful, it'll foam up. Then add the heavy cream, vanilla extract and salt, stirring to combine. You'll cook the sauce for 5 to 10 minutes, until it comes together. It'll take quite a bit of stirring! Let caramel cool to room temperature, pour into a glass jar and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Pour over everything and anything!
- For the crepes: Pop the flour, both sugars, salt, milk, eggs and melted butter in a large bowl and blend together thoroughly. If at all lumpy, strain.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Lightly coat or spray with vegetable oil and ladle a scoop of the batter into the center of the pan. Tilt the pan, rotating in a circle, to spread the entire crepe out. It should be about 9 inches wide and very thin. Cook until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Set aside on a plate. Cook the remaining batter until you have about 20 crepes.
- For assembly: Place a crepe on a cake platter and spread 3 to 4 tablespoons of the mascarpone over the crepe. Top with another crepe, and spread with 3 to 4 tablespoons of the salted caramel sauce. Top that with another crepe, and spread with 3 to 4 tablespoons of the apple-cinnamon puree. Repeat this process until you've layered 20 crepes.
- Pop the crepe cake in the fridge for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) to set. When ready to serve, remove from the fridge and let it sit on the counter for about 20 minutes to take the chill off. Sprinkle the top with sea salt and enjoy.

Lift and swirl the pan so the batter coats the bottom. let cook til slightly browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes. Use a spatula or your fingers to flip the crepe and cook til the other side is slightly browned, about 1 minute. Don't worry if the batter pulls away from apple a bit. Transfer crepe to a platter and keep warm in 200 oven. Repeat this process, starting with the butter to make three more crepes. Serve with a lemon wedge for sprinkling lemon juice over the crepes, and a dusting of powdered sugar. Serves 4

Steps:
- Place milk, water, eggs and salt in a blender. Cover blender and turn on at low speed. Add flours, then butter or oil and increase speed to high. Blend for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- Place a nonstick or seasoned 8-inch crêpe pan over medium heat. Brush with butter or oil and when pan is hot, just before it begins to smoke, remove from the heat and ladle in about 3 tablespoons batter. Tilt or swirl pan to distribute batter evenly and return to the heat. Cook for about 1 minute, until you can easily loosen the edges with a spatula. Turn and cook on the other side for 20 to 30 seconds. Reverse onto a plate. Continue until all of batter is used up. Keep warm in a low oven.
- To make the caramelized apples, heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter. When it begins to color add sugar, apples, cinnamon and nutmeg. Turn heat to high and cook the apples, shaking and flipping them in the pan or stirring with a heat-proof spatula, until they have softened and caramelized, 5 to 10 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a good quality non-stick pan. This will help to prevent the crepes from sticking and tearing.
- Heat the pan over medium heat. If the pan is too hot, the crepes will cook too quickly and won't have a chance to develop a nice caramel flavor.
- Use a thin layer of batter. The crepes should be thin enough to easily roll up, but not so thin that they tear.
- Cook the crepes for 1-2 minutes per side. You want the crepes to be slightly golden brown and cooked through, but not too dry.
- Fill the crepes with your favorite fillings. Some popular fillings include caramelized apples, whipped cream, Nutella, and fresh berries.
- Serve the crepes immediately. Crepes are best enjoyed warm, so serve them as soon as they are cooked.

Caramelized apple crepes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give caramelized apple crepes a try.
