  • 0.5 cup water
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract optional
Apple Cinnamon Filling
  • 4 medium apples peeled, cored, sliced
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg optional
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • pinch of salt

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Non-stick skillet or crepe pan
  • Large skillet for filling

Method
 

  1. Whisk crepe ingredients until smooth. Rest batter in fridge for 30 minutes.
  2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and salt. Cook 8-10 minutes until tender.
  3. Heat crepe pan over medium, butter lightly. Pour 1/4 cup batter, swirl to coat. Cook 1-2 minutes per side until golden.

Notes

Resting batter is key for tender crepes. Use firm apples to avoid mushiness. Reheat leftovers gently.
