Ingredients for Apple Filled Crepes

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • Apples
  • Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

How to Make Apple Filled Crepes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled crepe pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan, swirling to create a thin crepe.
  4. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  5. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  6. While the crepes cook, prepare the apple filling: Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a saucepan, combine the apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter. Cook over medium heat until the apples are softened and slightly caramelized (about 10-15 minutes). Stir in cranberries if using.
  7. Spread a spoonful of the apple filling onto each crepe.
  8. Fold the crepes in half or into quarters.
  9. Dust with icing sugar and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.

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.
