Apple Crepes Recipes

APPLE CREPES

Steps:

• Put all of the crepe ingredients in a blender and blend together until smooth. Alternatively mix with a hand blender. Set aside a couple minutes to rest while you prepare filling.
• Peel and core the apple and cut into a relatively small dice. Warm the butter over a medium-low heat in a small-medium skillet/frying pan and add the apple pieces along with the sugar and cinnamon. Cook for a couple minutes until the apples are gently soft and caramelized. Set aside.
• Warm a crepe pan over a medium heat and brush lightly with oil (if needed - may not if it's a seasoned non-stick). Using a small scoop or measure, take approximately 1/4 of the mixture at a time and swirl on the pan. The best way is to hold it as you pour on in the middle, and rotate the pan to circle it round.
• Leave the crepe on the heat until the surface is dry and the edges start to brown and curl up. Flip over and cook a minute more on the other side. Remove from pan or flip over again and add a spoonful of the apple filling, roll up the crepe and serve. You can also add a little cream or ice cream.

Steps:

• Crepes:
• Put the eggs, water, and 1/2 cup milk in a large bowl. Whisk until combined. Add the flour, cinnamon and salt and again whisk until combined. Whisk in the melted butter.
• Refrigerate the batter for at least 1/2 hour.
• Heat a 6-inch non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour 2 tablespoons crepe batter into the pan and quickly rotate the pan so the batter forms a thin layer over the bottom of the pan.

• Reduce the cider mixture to a gentle boil. Place the apple balls in the cider syrup and cover them with parchment paper or a cloth towel.

• Remove the apples from the cider syrup, reserving the syrup. The apples can be poached ahead of time.
