Cinnamon Apple Streusel Crêpes Recipes

SUPER-SIMPLE APPLE-CINNAMON DESSERT CREPES

Steps:

• In a small nonstick pot on the stove, combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir to dissolve. Add apples and lemon juice and stir. Bring to medium heat and cover. Cook until the apples have softened and liquid has thickened, about 5 minutes, uncovering often to stir.
• Remove the pot from heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Allow it to cool for several minutes. Thoroughly stir in cream cheese. Fold in whipped topping.
• Lay crepes flat on a dry surface. Evenly distribute the apple mixture between the crepes. Fold each crepe up envelope-style, first folding the sides in, and then folding/rolling it up from the bottom.
• Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Place the crepes in the skillet with the seam-sides down. Cook them until slightly browned, about 1 minute per side. (Flip carefully.)
• Plate your crepes and drizzle them with caramel dip. If you like, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Try not to pass out as you dig in!

CINNAMON-APPLE STREUSEL CRêPES

Steps:

• Prepare crêpe batter: Stir together dry ingredients and make a well in center. Put beaten egg, milk, and vanilla in the well; mix rapidly with a fork until almost all the lumps are gone. Let batter rest 5 minutes.
• Make streusel filling: Place apples, butter, oatmeal, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Stir to blend well.
• Microwave on high power for 30 minutes at a time, stirring after each session, until apples and oats are soft, about 2 minutes total. Stir in applesauce and blend well. Set aside.
• Make crêpes: Heat a crêpe pan or 9-10" nonstick skillet over medium heat. When hot, brush with coconut oil or other cooking oil. Pour about 1/4 cup crêpe batter in center of pan. Tilt and swirl pan to allow batter to spread out into a flat, thin, round pancake about 7" in diameter.
• Cook about two minutes, until top of crêpe begins to dry out. Then flip over and cook until done on the other side, about 2 more minutes. Crêpes should turn a light golden brown but not get too dark. Keeping the pan at medium-low to medium heat is key here.
• Serving crêpes: Cook all crêpes in the same manner, lightly brushing pan with oil for each crêpe. As they are done, stack them on a plate nearby. Then remove one crêpe to a serving dish. Place about 2 tablespoons apple filling on 1/4 of the crêpe.
• Fold the crêpe over into fourths. Prepare next crêpe in the same manner.
• Serve 2 to 3 crêpes on a plate, drizzled with maple syrup or dusted with powdered sugar.

YUMMY APPLE CINNAMON CREPES

Steps:

• Whisk eggs and salt together in a bowl. Gradually stir flour into eggs, alternately with 2 cups milk until fully incorporated. Beat 1/4 cup vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon into flour mixture. Refrigerate batter for at least 1 hour.
• Mix apples, sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons water in a pot.
• Whisk cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; pour into apple mixture.
• Simmer apple mixture over medium heat, stirring often, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Keep warm.
• Whisk 1 1/2 tablespoons milk into chilled batter.
• Heat about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a crepe or frying pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/3 cup batter into the heated oil; tip and rotate the crepe pan until the batter covers the entire area. Cook until the edges begin to curl away from the sides of the pan, about 30 seconds; flip the crepe and continue cooking until lightly golden on the other side, about 30 more seconds. Remove crepe from pan, add more oil, and repeat with remaining batter.
• Spoon the apple filling into each crepe; fold crepe over the filling and serve.
