Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 quarter cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Butter (melted, for greasing the pan)
- 3 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Water (for apple filling)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, low-fat milk, eggs, water, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
While the batter is resting, prepare the apple filling. In a medium saucepan, add the chopped apples, cinnamon, lemon juice, honey, and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with melted butter using a paper towel to evenly coat the surface.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the skillet, tilting and rotating the pan to evenly coat the bottom with a thin layer of batter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges of the crepe begin to lift from the pan and the bottom is lightly golden.
Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 30-60 seconds on the other side. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the pan as needed.
To serve, spoon a portion of the apple filling onto one side of each crepe, then fold or roll the crepe to enclose the filling.
Dust the crepes with a light sprinkle of cinnamon (optional) and serve immediately.
