Ingredients for Apple Brie Half Moon Crepes
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup water
- All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing the pan
- Brie Cheese
- 2 medium apples (Fuji, Braeburn, or Granny Smith), thinly sliced
- Walnuts
How to Make Apple Brie Half Moon Crepes
- In a blender, combine eggs, milk, water, flour, salt, and melted butter. Blend for 5 seconds, or until completely smooth. If necessary, stop and scrape down the sides, then blend again.
- Cover and refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in more tender crepes.
- Gently stir the batter before using if it has separated.
- Heat a lightly oiled 6- or 7-inch nonstick crepe pan over medium-high heat. Test the heat by sprinkling a drop of batter; if it sizzles gently, the pan is ready.
- Lightly coat the hot pan with butter. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of batter into the center of the pan, tilting to evenly spread it into a thin circle.
- Cook for about 1 minute, or until the edges begin to brown and the top looks mostly set.
- Loosen the edges with a spatula and flip the crepe. Cook for another 15 seconds on the other side.
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a clean tea towel or plate to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding butter to the pan as needed.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lay a crepe flat in a baking dish. Arrange a slice of brie and 3 apple slices evenly over one half of the crepe.
- Fold the crepe in half to form a half-moon shape.
- Repeat with the remaining crepes, arranging them neatly in the baking dish.
- Brush the tops of the crepes with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped nuts (if using).
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crepes are lightly golden.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Apple Brie Half Moon Crepes!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
