How to Make Crpes With Apple Pistachio

  1. **Make the Crêpes:** In a food processor, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 1/2 cups low-fat milk. Blend until completely smooth.
  2. **Rest the Batter:** Let the batter rest for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator). This allows the gluten to relax for extra tender crêpes.
  3. **Cook the Crêpes:** Lightly brush a lightly oiled crêpe pan or non-stick skillet with melted butter. Heat over medium heat.
  4. **Pour the Batter:** Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan and swirl to create a thin crêpe. Cook for 30-40 seconds per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. **Stack and Keep Warm:** Carefully flip the crêpe and cook for another 20 seconds. Stack cooked crêpes on a plate and keep warm in a low oven (200°F/95°C) while you cook the remaining batter.
  6. **Prepare the Apple Filling:** Peel, core, and thinly slice 2 medium Granny Smith apples. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground nutmeg. Cook, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender (about 10 minutes).
  7. **Add Pistachios:** Stir in 1/2 cup shelled pistachios and remove from heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
  8. **Assemble the Crêpes:** Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place a crêpe on a flat surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple pistachio filling onto one quarter of the crêpe.
  9. **Fold and Bake:** Fold the crêpe in half, then in half again to form a quarter. Repeat with the remaining crêpes.
  10. **Bake:** Arrange the filled crêpes in a lightly buttered ovenproof dish, slightly overlapping. Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until heated through.
  11. **Serve:** Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
