Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 pieces Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for filling)
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Shelled pistachios (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth. Cover and let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or cooking spray.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, swirling it around to create a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the underside is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
In another skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and caramelized.
Stir in the chopped pistachios and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
To assemble, spoon the apple-pistachio filling onto one-quarter of each crêpe. Fold the crêpe in half, then in quarters to form a triangle.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy warm.
