APPLE FILLED CREPES
Here is a recipe that can be served as desert or can be served as breakfast for a lazy Sunday morning. There is nothing like the aroma of apples cooked with a hint of cinnamon and a little nutmeg. Use Granny Smith apples for a tart filling or MacIntosh or Cortland for a not-so-tart treat. You can have it plain or you add cranberries (or use dried cranberries plumped up in warm water for 20 minutes). Dust with a little icing sugar and serve with a drizzle of real maple syrup for a tasty treat!

Steps:
- In a bowl, beat the 2 tablespoons of melted butter, milk, flour, salt and eggs together until smooth. Set aside for at least 1/2 hour, preferrably 2 hours to allow flour to absorb milk and thicken up.
- Meanwhile, core, peel and slice apples. Place the second amount of butter into a pan along with the remaining ingredients. Saute un medium low heat until soft and slightly brown. Set aside and keep warm on minimum heat.
- Preheat a crepe pan or non-stick pan on medium heat. Brush butter on the bottom of the pan. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into crepe pan and tip pan to coat bottom. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the top is set and the bottom is slightly brown. Gently flip crepe and let cook for another 30 seconds and slide out onto a wax paper. Continue until all batter is used.
- Place crepe on working surface, add a two or three tablespoons of apple filling. Roll 1/2 way and tuck in ends. Finish rolling and set aside.
- Serve warm and sprinkled with confectioner's sugar if desired or vanilla ice cream if serving for desert!

Steps:
- FOR THE CREPES:.
- Place milk, egg, flour, melted butter, icing sugar in a blender and whirl for 1 minute. Refrigerate while making apple filling.
- FOR THE CREPE FILLING:.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 12-inch nonstick frying pan or crepe pan over medium-high heat. Add the apples and sauté until lightly browned, about 5 minutes (If your pan is not large enough, do in batches). Transfer apples to a bowl and set aside.
- Add the cinnanonm nutmeg, honey, apple cider, and butter to pan. Cook until the sauce starts to thicken and is syrupy - this only takes a few mintues. Remove from heat and pour the sauce over the apples. Stir the sauce into the apples and keep warm while making the crepes.
- TO MAKE THE CREPES:.
- Heat a 10-inch non stick sauté pan or crepe pan over medium-high heat. Drop about a tablespoons butter into the pan and swirl generously around the sides and bottom. Pour approximately 1/3 cup of crepe batter into the pan and swirl around the batter until the pan is evenly coated with a thin layer of batter. Thin the batter with a little of the milk if it is too thick. Cook the crepe until it is dry in the center and golden brown at the edges. Flip over in the pan and cook until just lightly btrowned in the pan on the other side. Remove from pan and stack the crepes on a plate until all the batter is used up.
- To serve, spoon the apple filling onto half a crepe. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and fold crepe over. Sprinkle with a little icing sugar.

APPLE-FILLED CREPES WITH CARMEL SAUCE
Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- 1. Peel core, and cut the apples into 1/2 inch pieces. 2. Set a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. 3. Add the apples and sprinkle the sugar and brown sugar over them. 4. Cook, covered, over medium-high heat, until the apples begin to soften, about 8 minutes. 5. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring, until the apples are soft, 10 to 12 minutes.(The mixture will be boiling) 6. Sift in the vanilla and salt. 7. Set aside to cool. To Assemble the Crepes: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and butter a large baking dish. Arrange the crepes flat on a large work surface. Using a slotted spoon, remove the apples from the sauce and divide them among the crepes, spreading them over the surface of each crepe. Fold each crepe to make a half moon and then fold in half again to create a thick triangle. Arrange the crepes in the baking dish, overlapping them. Bring the remaining sauce back to a boil. Add 1/2 cup cream and whisk until the boiling mixture has thickened and darkened again to brown. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon sauce over each crepe (if there's extra sauce, reserve it to serve at the table). Bake the crepes until the filling is very hot, about 15 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips:
- Use a blender or food processor to make the crepe batter: This will result in a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Let the crepe batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking: This will allow the flour to absorb the liquid and will result in thinner, more tender crepes.
- Use a non-stick skillet or crepe pan: This will make it easier to flip the crepes without them sticking.
- Cook the crepes over medium heat: This will prevent them from burning.
- Flip the crepes when the edges start to brown and the bottom is golden: Use a spatula to gently lift the edge of the crepe and flip it over.
- Fill the crepes with your favorite fillings: Sweet fillings, such as apple pie filling, Nutella, or whipped cream, are popular choices. Savory fillings, such as cheese, ham, or vegetables, are also delicious.
- Serve the crepes immediately: Crepes are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
