# Ingredients:
→ Batter
01 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
02 -
30 g unsalted butter, melted, plus some extra for greasing the pan
03 -
3 large eggs, bring to room temperature first
04 -
360 ml milk, use plant-based or regular as you like
05 -
0.25 teaspoon salt
06 -
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 -
30 g regular sugar
08 -
125 g plain flour (swap for gluten-free if you want)
→ Apple Filling
09 -
1 tablespoon lemon juice
10 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 -
1 pinch salt
12 -
0.25 teaspoon nutmeg, only if you want
13 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
14 -
50 g brown sugar, packed tight
15 -
30 g unsalted butter
16 -
3 medium apples, peeled, no cores, thin slices (try Gala, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith)
→ Optional Toppings
17 -
Chopped nuts to sprinkle on top
18 -
Whipped cream if you want it
19 -
A drizzle of maple syrup
20 -
Powdered sugar for dusting
# Steps:
01 -
Sprinkle with powdered sugar before you dig in. If you like, throw on some maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, and a handful of nuts.
02 -
Drop a few spoonfuls of the warm apples down the middle of each crepe. Roll them up or fold them into triangles so the filling stays put.
03 -
Heat up your non-stick skillet (20–25 cm) on medium, then give it a brush with melted butter. Scoop in around 60 ml of batter and swirl the pan so it spreads out nice and thin. Let it cook for just a minute or two, flip it once golden, leave it for a few more seconds, then move to a plate. Keep going till you’re out of batter.
04 -
In a medium skillet, melt butter on medium heat. Toss in the apple slices, give them a stir for three minutes. Sprinkle in brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg if you’re using it, plus a pinch of salt. Cook till the apples get soft—five to seven minutes. Once off the heat, stir in vanilla and lemon juice.
05 -
In a bowl, mix eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Grab another bowl and stir together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour your wet stuff slowly into the dry, mixing as you go so it’s nice and smooth. Let it chill out for 30 minutes.
# Notes:
01 -
Let the batter sit at least a half hour—crepes will cook up thinner and softer.
02 -
Want a bolder cinnamon flavor? Try lightly toasting it before mixing in.
03 -
Make the apple filling ahead of time and just warm it when you need it.
