APPLE FILLED CREPES
Here is a recipe that can be served as desert or can be served as breakfast for a lazy Sunday morning. There is nothing like the aroma of apples cooked with a hint of cinnamon and a little nutmeg. Use Granny Smith apples for a tart filling or MacIntosh or Cortland for a not-so-tart treat. You can have it plain or you add cranberries (or use dried cranberries plumped up in warm water for 20 minutes). Dust with a little icing sugar and serve with a drizzle of real maple syrup for a tasty treat!

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.

- 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 and honey-filled crepes recipes are a delicious and healthy way of incorporating fresh fruits into our diets. Crepes are thin, light pancakes that originated in France, and they are easy to make using simple ingredients. The apple and honey filling provides a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, making it an excellent breakfast or dessert option.
Health Benefits of Apples
Apples are an excellent source of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. They are rich in polyphenols, which are plant compounds that have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Apples also contain a soluble fiber called pectin, which helps in regulating blood sugar levels and reducing cholesterol. Eating apples regularly may improve digestion and promote healthy gut bacteria.
Health Benefits of Honey
Honey has been used for its healing properties for centuries. Honey contains antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that can help boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, and it also has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Honey is a natural sweetener that provides a quick source of energy and is a healthier alternative to refined sugar.
The Crepes
The crepes are the base of the recipe and can be made using flour, milk, eggs, salt, and butter. The batter is mixed well and left to rest for some time to allow the ingredients to blend together. The batter is then spread thinly over a hot pan to make the crepes. The crepes are cooked over low heat to ensure that they cook evenly without burning.
The Apple Filling
The apple filling is made with fresh apples that are peeled, cored, and diced. The apples are cooked over medium heat with honey until they are coated evenly. The apples are then flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract, giving them a warm and spicy flavor. The apple filling is then stuffed into the crepes, and the crepes are rolled up tightly to seal in the filling.
Serving and Presentation
The apple and honey-filled crepes can be served in a variety of ways. You can top them with whipped cream, honey, or maple syrup for added sweetness. You can also serve them with a side of fresh fruit, yogurt, or nuts for some added texture and flavor. The crepes can be arranged on a plate and topped with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
Conclusion
Apple and honey-filled crepes are a delicious and nutritious breakfast or dessert option. The combination of fresh apples, honey, and warm spices makes this dish a comforting and satisfying meal. The crepes are easy to make and can be customized to suit your taste buds. You can experiment with different fillings and toppings to create your own unique version of this classic French dish.
Tip 1: The Perfect Crepe
The key to any good crepe recipe is the texture and thickness of the crepe. A perfectly made crepe should be thin and delicate, with a slightly crispy edge. To achieve the perfect crepe, you will need to use the right amount of liquid and flour. You can add a little water to the batter if it’s too thick, and you can add more flour if the batter is too thin. Once you have the perfect consistency, you can start preparing your crepes.Ingredients for the perfect crepe
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1/2 cup water (if needed)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour, milk, eggs, salt, and melted butter until smooth.
- If the batter is too thick, add water until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Take a ladleful of batter and pour it into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom.
- Cook until the edges start to curl up and the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip the crepe and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
Tip 2: Apple Filling
Apples are a classic dessert ingredient that pairs perfectly with crepes. When making apple filling, it’s important to use the right type of apples. The best apples for cooking are Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn. They have a firm texture and a tart flavor that works well in sweet recipes. When making apple filling, you can add honey or sugar to sweeten it and add a touch of cinnamon for extra flavor.Ingredients for apple filling

Tip 3: Honey Sauce
Honey sauce is the perfect addition to any crepe recipe. It adds a touch of sweetness and enhances the flavor of the crepes and the filling. When making honey sauce, it’s important to use high-quality honey. Local raw honey is the best option because it’s unprocessed and retains all its natural nutrients and enzymes. You can also add a touch of vanilla extract to the sauce for extra flavor.Ingredients for honey sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
