Heat deepens the flavor of both peaches and apricots, and grilling adds one more seared dimension. The trick here is to grill the fruit just until it colors and softens, but not to let it burn or collapse. I find that 3 minutes on one side is sufficient for peaches, and 2 minutes for apricots, with about 1 minute on the other side. Crêpes are easy to make if you use a nonstick crêpe pan, and great to have on hand for desserts like this one. Keep the six extra that this recipe yields in the freezer, and grill some more peaches and apricots next week.
02Heat a 7-inch seasoned or nonstick crêpe pan or skillet over medium-high heat and brush lightly with butter. (Pan must be hot when you add the crêpe batter.) Lift pan off the heat and pour in or ladle in a scant 1/4 cup batter per crêpe, enough to thinly coat the bottom of the pan. Tilt and swirl pan to distribute batter in an even layer. Return pan to the heat and cook crêpe for about 1 minute, until edges color and it is easy to loosen them with a thin spatula or butter knife. The bottom of the crêpe should be nicely browned and should not stick to the pan. Flip crêpe over and cook for 30 seconds on the other side, until it is speckled. Turn out onto a plate.
03Repeat with remaining batter, whisking from time to time. If not using right away, stack crêpes between pieces of wax paper. Wrap in plastic and freeze or refrigerate. You will need only 6 of the 12 crêpes that this recipe makes.
04For the Fruit: Heat a griddle over a hot or medium-hot grill or burner, or preheat a grill pan. Cut fruit in half and remove pits. Brush lightly with oil.
05Combine honey and butter and warm over low heat or in a microwave at 50
percent power until butter melts (about 30 seconds in the microwave).
06Place fruit cut side down on griddle. Grill for about 3 minutes, until lightly
charred and browned but still intact. Brush skin side with oil, turn over and grill for another minute or two. Remove from griddle and cut the peach halves into thirds if the peaches are large, in half if small.
07Transfer fruit to a bowl and toss gently with lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of the honey-butter mixture.
08Warm crêpes: wrap in foil and place in a low oven (275 degrees) for about 10 minutes, or warm in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Place a warm crêpe on each plate and top with grilled fruit. Fold crêpe over, drizzle on honey and butter, and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Garnish with more of the fruit, which will quickly yield delicious juices that will combine with the honey and butter and should be spooned over the fruit and crêpes. Serve warm.
