How to Make Apple Brown Betty Crepes
- **Crepes:**
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add 2 cups milk, 2 large eggs, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
- Lightly spray a 6-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the hot skillet, tilting to spread into a thin 6-inch crepe.
- Cook for 30-60 seconds per side, or until lightly browned. Use a spatula to flip.
- Cool crepes on a wire rack; cover with a clean tea towel to keep them soft.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
- **Apple Brown Betty Filling:**
- In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups peeled and sliced apples (about 4 medium), 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until apples are tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
- Stir the flour mixture into the apple mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes, or until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and 2 tablespoons butter until melted.
- **Assembly & Baking:**
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a 13x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of the apple filling down the center of each crepe.
- Fold the opposite edges of each crepe over the filling.
- Arrange the filled crepes in the prepared baking pan.
- Spread the remaining apple mixture evenly over the crepes.
- **Topping:**
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Mix until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the crepes.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and topping is golden brown.
- Serve warm, topped with whipped cream (optional).
