Apple Crepes Recipes

APPLE CREPES

Steps:

• Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add apples, sugar, walnuts, cinnamon, and salt; cook, stirring, until apples are softened.
• Meanwhile, stack crepes and roll up into a cylinder; cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Add julienned crepes to skillet and toss to combine; cook until crepes are heated through and slightly crisp. Serve immediately.

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.

APPLE FILLED CREPES

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat the 2 tablespoons of melted butter, milk, flour, salt and eggs together until smooth. Set aside for at least 1/2 hour, preferrably 2 hours to allow flour to absorb milk and thicken up.
• Meanwhile, core, peel and slice apples. Place the second amount of butter into a pan along with the remaining ingredients. Saute un medium low heat until soft and slightly brown. Set aside and keep warm on minimum heat.
• Preheat a crepe pan or non-stick pan on medium heat. Brush butter on the bottom of the pan. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into crepe pan and tip pan to coat bottom. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the top is set and the bottom is slightly brown. Gently flip crepe and let cook for another 30 seconds and slide out onto a wax paper. Continue until all batter is used.
• Place crepe on working surface, add a two or three tablespoons of apple filling. Roll 1/2 way and tuck in ends. Finish rolling and set aside.
• Serve warm and sprinkled with confectioner's sugar if desired or vanilla ice cream if serving for desert!

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.

CREPES WITH SAUTEED APPLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together milk, flour, eggs, sugar, salt, and butter. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Meanwhile, prepare apples.
• Heat a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high. Dip a folded paper towel into melted butter; wipe bottom of skillet. Pour 1/3 cup batter into skillet; swirl skillet so batter coats bottom with a thin, even layer. Cook until edges are dry, about 1 minute. Using a spatula, gently lift one edge of crepe, and grasping with your fingers, flip crepe over; cook 30 seconds. (Don't worry if the first one or two aren't perfect.)
• Slide cooked crepe out of skillet onto baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking crepes on sheet. (If making ahead, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate up to 1 day.)
• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium. Add apples, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and 1/2 cup water; cook until apples are soft, about 15 minutes.
• Add cherries, and cook until they have plumped, 2 minutes. (If making ahead, transfer to a bowl; cover, and refrigerate up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
• (If made ahead: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lay crepes in a single layer, slightly overlapping, on 2 baking sheets. Warm in oven 5 minutes, and remove.) Fold into quarters. Place 2 crepes on each serving plate. Top with apple mixture. Serve with sour cream, if desired.

APPLE CREPES

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. (Return excess batter to the remaining batter.) Cook the crepe for 1 to 2 minutes until it is golden brown. Loosen the edge of the crepe with a knife and using your fingers, invert the crepe and cook the other side for about 10 seconds.
• Continue cooking crepes until you have at least 12.
• Make sure the crepes are cool and then cover them with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve them.
• Apple Balls:
• Peel the apples. Using a melon baller, scoop out the apple balls making sure you do not scoop into the core. Make 42 balls total.
• Combine the cider, sugar, and water in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for about 30 seconds until the sugar dissolves.
• 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. Poach the apple balls for about 5 minutes until the are soft. Be careful not to over-poach them as you want them to retain their shape. Poaching timing will depend on the variety of apple being used.
• Remove the apples from the cider syrup, reserving the syrup. The apples can be poached ahead of time.
• Plating:
• Place the cider syrup in a large saute pan over medium heat. Place the crepes 1 at a time in the liquid, folding them into quarters once they have been coated with the syrup. Heat the crepes until they are warmed through.
• Place 2 crepes on each plate. Increase the heat to high and add the lemon juice, Calvados, salt and butter. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly. While the sauce is cooking place a pile of apple balls on top of the crepes in the middle of each plate. Pour the sauce over the crepes. Top with a tablespoon of creme fraiche. Serve immediately.

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!
