How to Make Caramel Apple Crepes
- **Prepare the Raisins:** In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup raisins with 2 tablespoons of rum or brandy. Set aside to soak for at least 30 minutes.
- **Make the Crepe Batter:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups milk, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt until completely smooth and lump-free.
- **Cook the Crepes:** Lightly grease a small nonstick skillet or crepe pan with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. Pour 2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot skillet, tilting to spread evenly into a thin circle.
- **Cook until lightly browned** on one side, then flip and cook the other side for about 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside on a plate. Repeat with remaining batter until all crepes are cooked.
- **Prepare the Caramel Sauce:** In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter. Add 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth and creamy (about 3-5 minutes).
- **Finish the Caramel:** Remove from heat and carefully whisk in 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream. Set aside.
- **Prepare the Apples:** In a medium bowl, toss 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced) with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- **Cook the Apples:** Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the apple slices and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
- **Combine and Fill:** Stir in the soaked raisins and 1/4 of the prepared caramel sauce into the cooked apples.
- **Assemble the Crepes:** Spoon the apple mixture onto each crepe, fold in half or thirds, and arrange 2-3 crepes on individual serving plates.
- **Garnish and Serve:** Top with chopped pecans, dust with powdered sugar, and serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of extra caramel sauce.
