The Inn on First in Napa offers many scrumptuous gourmet breakfasts, including these delicious crepes that are always a treat and very popular with guests. Says the innkeeper, "The beauty of this recipe is that the crepes and apples can be made the day before, which leaves only the mascarpone cream to make in the morning."

Ingredients for crepes:

• 6 eggs
• 1 cup flour
• 4 cups milk

Mix eggs and flour into a thick paste. Add milk. Whisk well until smooth. Strain through a sieve if necessary to remove lumps. Heat a non-stick sauté pan over medium heat. Pour in small amount to coat bottom and sides of pan. Allow the crepe to cook through. As it pulls away from the sides of the pan, pull it up gently and turn it over and cook for 1 minute more. Slide out of pan and place a small piece of parchment paper on top so that you can create a stack of crepes.

Can be frozen for up to one month, tightly wrapped in plastic. Makes 30 7" Crepes

Ingredients for roasted apples:

• 20 Granny Smith apples
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 TBS cinnamon
• 1 TBS lemon juice

Peel, core, and cut the apples into small dice. Toss with sugar and cinnamon. Add lemon juice. Spray sheet pan with PAM and spread out apples. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until tender. Remove from hot sheet pan and spread on a cold sheet pan to cool quickly. Refrigerate after cooled.

Ingredients for mascarpone cream:

• 2 cups mascarpone cream
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup sugar

Combine ingredients and whisk together until soft peaks form.

Place 2 to 4 tablespoons of apple in each crepe and roll into a long cylinder (like an enchilada). Dust filled crepes with powdered sugar.

Place a dollop of mascarpone cream on each crepe. Or pipe out a rosette on top with a pastry bag and fluted tip. If desired, place thin half-moon apple slices on top and serve with a side of sausage - such as chicken apple.

[For frozen crepes, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. To reheat apples, place in pan on stovetop over low heat. Add a little water to keep the apples moist. Heat up a sauté pan or griddle, and heat each crepe for service.]
