Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1.25 cups milk (1% fat)
300g
2 eggs
100g
2 tbsp butter
30g
2 apples
320g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crepe Batter:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, milk, eggs, and melted butter.
2. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Set it aside to rest for 15-30 minutes.
2. Caramelise the Apples:
1. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
2. Add the apple slices to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften (about 5-7 minutes).
3. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the apples and continue to cook, stirring gently, until the sugar melts and forms a caramel sauce (about 5 minutes).
4. Pour in the heavy whipping cream and stir to combine. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
3. Cook the Crepes:
1. Heat a non-stick crepe pan or a large frying pan over medium heat.
2. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter.
3. Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the center of the pan, tilting and swirling the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin, round layer.
4. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
5. Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
6. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
4. Assemble the Crepes:
1. Place a cooked crepe on a serving plate.
2. Spoon a generous amount of the caramelised apple mixture onto one half of the crepe.
3. Fold the crepe over the apples to form a semi-circle, or fold again to create a triangular shape.
4. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
5. Serve:
1. Drizzle any remaining caramel sauce over the top of the assembled crepes.
2. Serve immediately while warm. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

- Preheat Your Pan: Ensure your pan is well-heated before pouring the crepe batter for even cooking and smooth flipping.

- Thin Batter Consistency: For the best crepe texture, make sure your batter is thin and runny. If it’s too thick, add a bit more milk.

- Proper Apple Slicing: Slice apples thinly and evenly to ensure they cook uniformly and caramelize perfectly.

- Use Medium Heat: Caramelize the apples on medium heat to avoid burning the sugar and to achieve a perfect golden color.

- Rest the Batter: Allow the crepe batter to rest for at least 30 minutes after mixing to let the flour fully absorb the liquid, which results in better texture.

- Sugar Substitutes: Feel free to use coconut sugar or a sugar substitute if you prefer a different sweetness level or have dietary restrictions.

Enjoy your delightful caramelised apple crepes as a perfect start to the day or a sweet finish to your evening. This recipe not only captures the essence of rich caramel flavors but also brings out the natural sweetness of the apples, all wrapped in a light, tender crepe. Serve them warm, and savor every delicious bite with family and friends.
