Good anytime of the day: breakfast, lunch, dessert. I really think you will like this..would impress Marie Antoinette..if you fuss with the meringue you can make a nice little work of art.20 Ingredients:

large |
egg whites |

Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a large, heavy pot with a tight fitting lid.
2. Add apples and toss to coat with butter, then cook, covered, over low heat, stirring occasionally until apples are soft - about 20 to 30 minutes.
3. Stir in sugar and apple juice and cook uncovered, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes over medium heat.
4. Spread about 2 to 3 tablespoons of apple mixture on a crepe, all the way to the edges.
5. Place this crepe on a buttered cookie sheet or 10-inch quiche dish.
6. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon almonds on the apples; place another crepe on top and repeat, using all crepes, apples, and nuts.

8. This dessert may be made ahead up to this point and then refrigerated.
9. Before serving, preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
10. In a mixing bowl, with the mixer on low, begin beating egg whites until foamy. Turn mixer to high and add the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until you have a stiff meringue.
11. Ice Gateau of Crepes with meringue as you would a cake.
12. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until meringue is lightly browned.
