This is a classic Breton for a dessert of crepes that are folded up to look like old-fashioned purses, filled with apples and chestnut cream and secured with a strip of liquorice.
Ingredients:
6 pancakes
5 apples, peeled, cored and cubed
100g of
chestnut cream
Knob of butter
2 tbsp golden caster Sugar
icing sugar
3 liquorice bootlaces
Method:
Place a pan over high heat. Add a knob of butter and when melted add the apple pieces. Cook until just softened then scatter over the sugar and allow to caramelize for a few minutes.
Once cooked, turn the apples and the pan juices into a mixing bowl then mix with the chestnut cream. Divide the mixture evenly between the centres of the six pancakes then fold the pancakes up to enclose the filling. Secure each one by tying with half a liquorice strip.
Transfer to your refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours. Serve chilled, dusted with a little icing sugar.
