Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Place peaches in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon, and transfer to ice-water bath. Remove skin, and cut peaches in half. Remove and discard pits, and slice each half into 6 wedges.
• Combine sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan; cover, and cook over medium-high heat until sugar is completely dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover, reduce heat to medium low, and cook until sugar turns medium amber, about 15 minutes. While cooking, wipe down sides of pan several times with a pastry brush dipped in cold water to prevent crystals from forming.
• Working quickly, remove pan from heat, and stir in peach wedges with a wooden spoon. Return saucepan to heat, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft, about 5 minutes.
• Remove peaches and sugar syrup from heat, and let cool slightly. Transfer half the mixture to a medium bowl, and set aside. Transfer the other half to the bowl of a food processor, and puree until smooth, about 30 seconds.
• Add half the puree (about 3/4 cup) to the caramelized sliced peaches. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until the cake is served. Reserve the remaining puree to assemble the cake.

• On medium high heat, melt 2 tbsp of butter, add brown sugar, and cook until bubbling. Add peaches and cook for 2 minutes until peaches are heated through and caramelized. take off of heat and set aside to cool while making crepes.
• Heat a 10 inch non-stick skillet on medium high heat. Melt a small pat of butter in pan to grease the pan, at least for the first crepe. Add more butter if needed as you make the crepes.
• Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter directly into the center of the hot pan and immedately tilt the pan to one side and slowly swirl around the pan making sure batter distributes to evenly coat the bottom of the pan forming a circle.
• As bubbles form at the top of the crepe, and edges start to get a slight brown, use a plastic spatula to slowly lift the sides of the crepe and gently release from the pan. Holding directly under the center of the crepe then flip the crepe to the other side. Cook for one more minute on the second side, until the batter is cooked through and is slightly browned, maiing sure not to dry out the crepe.
• Slide onto a plate, and cover with a towel to keep warm. Repeat for the remaining crepes. You should get approximately 8-9 crepes out of this batter using the 1/4 cup measure.
• To assemble, place the warm peaches and caramel across a crepe, fold over one end and roll up. Serve with fresh peach slices on top and a dusting of powdered sugar.

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter. Once melted, add the peach slices, laying them on their sides, and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until golden. Sprinkle the peach slices with 2 tablespoons of sugar and flip them, being careful not to break them. Continue to sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until golden-brown. Remove pan from heat and arrange the peach slices in a daisy pattern in the prepared mold, making sure to fit the slices tightly together. Set aside. Return pan to stove over medium/medium-high heat. Add the balance of the sugar, vanilla and Cognac and simmer, stirring continuously, until a rich caramel forms (about 5 to 6 minutes).

Repeat again and fold until the egg whites and flour have been just incorporated. Finish by adding the balance of the egg whites and fold them in until just incorporated. Do not overmix. Spoon batter over the peaches, up to about 1/4″ below the rim. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
