Apple Crepes!

When I was around 10 my older brother was a teenager and was taking Home Ec classes. He would always be coming home making all these recipes that my family had never eaten before. One day he made crepes. He said they were french and I thought he was so worldly. I still remember his crepes to this day.

I made some yummy apple crepes this morning and they turned out wonderful! These are very easy to make with simple ingrediants.



Ingrediants

For the crepes:
1 Cup Flour
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp vanilla (optional)
2 tbsp oil

For the apple filling:
2 apples
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon


First I took the two apples and cored & peeled them. I then sliced them up thinly.


I love my handy red apple corer! It makes things so much easier.

Melt the 3 tbsp of butter in a sauce pan. Add the sugar and cinnamon. Toss
in the sliced apples and saute them until they are soft. Take off from heat and set aside.


Beat the eggs with the water, milk, flour & melted butter. Add the vanilla if you want. Beat
out the lumps.

Heat a 6 inch pan a little above medium. Add a little oil and ladle the crepe mixture in just enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Let it brown a little and flip over.

Put crepe on a plate and add the apple filling on one half of the crepe.

Fold over the other half and you have a completed apple crepe!

For my crepes I doubled the crepe and apple recipe. I had some crepes left over and I spread nuttella on them and rolled them up! You can see the rolled up ones in the picture...



Eat them right away or save them for later heated in the microwave. Perfect for breakfast or dessert.

  1. I loooooveeeeee Nutella on crepes. I went through a phase a couple months ago where I made crepes everyday for almost a week, lol! They're so easy to make.
