APPLE CREPES



Apple Crepes image

Provided by Food Network

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 large eggs
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk plus 2 tablespoons
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt
1-ounce unsalted butter
3 apples (Jonagold, Gala, Braeburn or Fuji)
1/2 cup hard apple cider
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons Calvados
Pinch salt
1-ounce unsalted butter
6 tablespoons creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Crepes:
  • Put the eggs, water, and 1/2 cup milk in a large bowl. Whisk until combined. Add the flour, cinnamon and salt and again whisk until combined. Whisk in the melted butter.
  • Refrigerate the batter for at least 1/2 hour.
  • Heat a 6-inch non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour 2 tablespoons crepe batter into the pan and quickly rotate the pan so the batter forms a thin layer over the bottom of the pan. (Return excess batter to the remaining batter.) Cook the crepe for 1 to 2 minutes until it is golden brown. Loosen the edge of the crepe with a knife and using your fingers, invert the crepe and cook the other side for about 10 seconds.
  • Continue cooking crepes until you have at least 12.
  • Make sure the crepes are cool and then cover them with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve them.
  • Apple Balls:
  • Peel the apples. Using a melon baller, scoop out the apple balls making sure you do not scoop into the core. Make 42 balls total.
  • Combine the cider, sugar, and water in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for about 30 seconds until the sugar dissolves.
  • Reduce the cider mixture to a gentle boil. Place the apple balls in the cider syrup and cover them with parchment paper or a cloth towel. Poach the apple balls for about 5 minutes until the are soft. Be careful not to over-poach them as you want them to retain their shape. Poaching timing will depend on the variety of apple being used.
  • Remove the apples from the cider syrup, reserving the syrup. The apples can be poached ahead of time.
  • Plating:
  • Place the cider syrup in a large saute pan over medium heat. Place the crepes 1 at a time in the liquid, folding them into quarters once they have been coated with the syrup. Heat the crepes until they are warmed through.
  • Place 2 crepes on each plate. Increase the heat to high and add the lemon juice, Calvados, salt and butter. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly. While the sauce is cooking place a pile of apple balls on top of the crepes in the middle of each plate. Pour the sauce over the crepes. Top with a tablespoon of creme fraiche. Serve immediately.

CARAMELIZED APPLE CREPES



Caramelized Apple Crepes image

Be sure to choose crisp apples whose texture will stand up nicely as they are cooked. We used Mutsu, but Granny Smith also work well.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Crepe Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 1/4 cups milk
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 crisp apples, such as Mutsu, peeled, quartered, and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (1 lemon)
2 tablespoon lemon juice (1 lemon)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
6 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons Calvados or brandy
1 cup creme fraiche
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour and salt. Whisk in eggs, egg yolk, and about 1 tablespoon milk, forming a smooth batter with a pastelike consistency. Add remaining milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla; mix until no lumps remain. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a nonstick skillet, and stir into the batter; leave a film of butter in the skillet. Let the batter rest at room temperature about 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to warm. Over medium-low heat, warm the skillet thoroughly. Stir batter, and carefully ladle about 1/4 cup batter into skillet. Rotate skillet so batter spreads out and thinly coats the bottom and edges of the skillet. Return skillet to heat, and cook crepe until edges turn golden brown and lacy, and start to pull away from the skillet, about 2 minutes. Using a knife or an offset spatula, carefully turn crepe over; cook other side until just golden, 30 to 40 seconds. Slide the crepe onto a heat-proof plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stirring it before making another crepe. Stack cooked crepes on top of one another.
  • Loosely cover plate of crepes with aluminum foil, and place in the oven to keep warm.
  • Place apples in a medium bowl. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, cinnamon, and ginger. Toss to coat.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet set over medium heat. Add granulated sugar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar turns amber in color, about 5 minutes. If caramel starts to get too dark, remove skillet from heat. Add apples, and cook, turning apples over, until soft and completely caramelized. Pour Calvados into a measuring cup, then pour into skillet. Carefully ignite the alcohol, and allow the flame to burn out, 2 to 3 minutes, shaking skillet to toss the apples in the syrup. Remove apples from heat; let cool slightly.
  • Combine creme fraiche, remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and confectioners' sugar in a chilled mixing bowl. Whip mixture until light, fluffy, and almost doubled in volume.
  • Remove the crepes from oven, and transfer to six serving plates. Spoon a scant 1/2 cup caramelized apples onto each crepe, and dust lightly with confectioners' sugar. Spoon a generous amount of creme-fraiche mixture over apples. Fold crepes, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, crisp apples. This will help to ensure that your apple crisp crepes are flavorful and moist.
  • Peel and core your apples before slicing them. This will make them easier to eat and will help to prevent the crepes from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of apples for a more flavorful filling. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • Be sure to cook the apples until they are soft and tender. This will help to ensure that they are easy to eat and will help to prevent the crepes from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overfill the crepes. This will make them difficult to fold and will also make them more likely to break.
  • Serve the crepes warm with your favorite toppings. Some good options include vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

Apple crisp crepes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give apple crisp crepes a try!
