1. To prepare crêpe wraps: In medium bowl, whisk together baking mix, milk and egg until thoroughly mixed.

2. Heat a 8-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour approximately 1/4 cup batter into center of pan, swirl pan gently to coat thinly and evenly. When edges are brown, gently flip. Slide pancake out of pan when second side is done. Continue cooking batter to form 4 crêpe wraps. Set aside.

3. To prepare filling: Melt butter in medium pan. Add apples and cook over high heat until apples are lightly browned, about 3 minutes.


Yield: 4 wraps

Notes: The concept of wraps is nothing new. Their popularity reaches around the globe with almost every ethnic cuisine contributing its own wrap version — from burritos to sushi to spring rolls. Wraps shops have cropped up around the country, but you don't have to eat out to enjoy the flavors of the world. Wraps are quick and healthy, and easy to make at home when using versatile, good-for-you ingredients like pork and naturally fat-free honey.

Pork, the world's most popular meat, is frequently featured in wrap recipes because it pairs so well with a broad range of seasonings and flavors. Easy-to-prepare pork roast is shredded and combined with fillings like vegetables, rice and beans. Quick sauces with the diverse flavors of Thai, Tex-Mex and Mediterranean cuisines, can be tempered with the natural sweetness of honey. Choose a tortilla, pita or lettuce leaf and you're ready to roll.

Healthful, tasty fillings wrapped into a neat, hand-held package — that's how the world wraps.
4. Add honey, apple juice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.

5. To assemble wrap, place one scoop of ice cream in center of each crêpe wrap. Top each wrap with approximately 1/2 cup apple mixture. Fold in sides to wrap.
