Description
Cinnamon-y and so delicious, these French-style crepes are the perfect breakfast! Top with chopped apples, cinnamon and brown sugar for an easy and sweet crepe filling.
Ingredients
For the crepes:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup water
For the apple topping:
2 apples, diced (I chose honeycrisp)
2 tbl brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 tbl butter
Pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine all of the crepe ingredients and mix with a whisk until no lumps remain in the batter.
Heat a small, non-stick pan. Using a small brush, brush a small amount of vegetable oil, enough to lightly cover the bottom of your pan. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center, while simultaneously swirling the pan to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 15 seconds and put onto a plate and set aside. Repeat until all your batter has been used.
To make the topping/filling:
Melt butter in a small non-stick skillet on low to medium heat. Add apples, stirring occasionally until apples begin to soften (about 4 minutes). Sprinkle with brown sugar and spices and continue to stir until the apples begin to caramelize, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
To assemble, you can either fill each crepe with your apples, or fill with jam and top with apples. This time, I had some delicious cinnamon pear preserves that I filled the crepe with, then topped them with the apples. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
