Cherry Pie Crepes a La Mode
- Makes: 6 servings
- Yield: 12 filled crepes
- Hands On 40 mins
Wrapping the crepes into fruit-filled bundles means that you can assemble them ahead, store them in the fridge, and then zap them in the microwave before serving. (Plus, it's fun to cut in and see the ruby filling spill out.) But for a speedy and pretty variation, just fold the crepes into quarters and top with the cherries and ice cream.
