Caramel Apple Crepes Recipe

Caramel Apple Crepes

Ingredients

For the crepes (Makes 6)
1 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch kosher salt
¾ cup milk
2 eggs
1 ounce (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan

For the Caramel Apples
1 apple, peeled, cored and cut in small dice
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar (you can even omit this since the caramel would provide enough sweetness)
Caramel sauce (homemade or store bought)
Powdered sugar for sprinkling

 

Directions:

To prepare the batter.

Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl, and create a well in the center.

Add the eggs, beat the eggs with a fork slowly incorporating the flour as you go. The mixture will be thick once the eggs have been incorporated;

Pour the milk a little at a time, making sure the liquid is incorporated before adding more and prevents lumps.

Add the melted butter and stir well. Let rest for around a half hour.

To cook the crepes:

Heat up a crepe pan (or a skillet with rounded sides) over medium-high heat. Rub a little butter all over the surface.

Once the butter has melted and is very hot, pour about 2-3 tablespoons of the batter onto the center of the pan, and, with a shaking motion, spread the batter around the pan as much as you can.

Cook over medium heat or until the crepe is slightly golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute or two.

Transfer the cooked crepes in on a parchment-lined baking tray and keep warm in the oven as you cook the rest and prepare the apples.

To prepare the apples:

Heat the butter in a small pan over medium-high heat.  Cook until melted, brown and it smells nutty, about 2 minutes.

Add the apples, cook for 2 minutes then add the sugar and cook for another 2 minutes until the apples are tender.

To assemble:

Arrange the crepes on a plate, folded any way you like, and top with half of the cooked apples.

Drizzle with as much caramel sauce as you like and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
