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.

SALTED CARAMEL APPLE CREPE CAKE



Salted Caramel Apple Crepe Cake image

Provided by Claire Thomas : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 5h15m

Yield 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 pounds roasted apples
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup white sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons baker's sugar (or superfine sugar)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 1/2 cups whole milk
12 large eggs
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable oil, for cooking
1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese
1 1/2 cups salted caramel sauce
1 1/2 cups apple-cinnamon puree
Sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the apple-cinnamon puree: Puree the roasted apples and their juices in a food processor or blender. Combine the apple puree with the lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened and reduced slightly, about 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature and store in a sanitized jar for up to a month.
  • For the salted caramel: Heat the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, until the sugar turns golden. Stir until all of the sugar is dissolved and just starting to turn a lovely amber color.
  • Turn heat to low, add the butter and stir to combine. Careful, it'll foam up. Then add the heavy cream, vanilla extract and salt, stirring to combine. You'll cook the sauce for 5 to 10 minutes, until it comes together. It'll take quite a bit of stirring! Let caramel cool to room temperature, pour into a glass jar and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Pour over everything and anything!
  • For the crepes: Pop the flour, both sugars, salt, milk, eggs and melted butter in a large bowl and blend together thoroughly. If at all lumpy, strain.
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Lightly coat or spray with vegetable oil and ladle a scoop of the batter into the center of the pan. Tilt the pan, rotating in a circle, to spread the entire crepe out. It should be about 9 inches wide and very thin. Cook until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Set aside on a plate. Cook the remaining batter until you have about 20 crepes.
  • For assembly: Place a crepe on a cake platter and spread 3 to 4 tablespoons of the mascarpone over the crepe. Top with another crepe, and spread with 3 to 4 tablespoons of the salted caramel sauce. Top that with another crepe, and spread with 3 to 4 tablespoons of the apple-cinnamon puree. Repeat this process until you've layered 20 crepes.
  • Pop the crepe cake in the fridge for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) to set. When ready to serve, remove from the fridge and let it sit on the counter for about 20 minutes to take the chill off. Sprinkle the top with sea salt and enjoy.

Categories     brunch, dinner, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 12 crêpes, serving 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

250 grams (1 cup) low-fat or whole milk
75 grams (1/3 cup) water
3 large eggs
3 grams (scant 1/2 teaspoon) salt
75 grams (2/3 cup) buckwheat flour
62 grams (about 1/2 cup) unbleached all-purpose flour
45 grams (3 tablespoons) melted butter or grapeseed oil
30 grams (2 tablespoons) butter
15 grams (1 tablespoon) turbinado sugar
2 tart apples, such as Pink Lady, Gravenstein, Braeburn or Granny Smith, cored, peeled if desired, and sliced very thin
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Yogurt or crème fraîche for serving

Steps:

  • Place milk, water, eggs and salt in a blender. Cover blender and turn on at low speed. Add flours, then butter or oil and increase speed to high. Blend for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Place a nonstick or seasoned 8-inch crêpe pan over medium heat. Brush with butter or oil and when pan is hot, just before it begins to smoke, remove from the heat and ladle in about 3 tablespoons batter. Tilt or swirl pan to distribute batter evenly and return to the heat. Cook for about 1 minute, until you can easily loosen the edges with a spatula. Turn and cook on the other side for 20 to 30 seconds. Reverse onto a plate. Continue until all of batter is used up. Keep warm in a low oven.
  • To make the caramelized apples, heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter. When it begins to color add sugar, apples, cinnamon and nutmeg. Turn heat to high and cook the apples, shaking and flipping them in the pan or stirring with a heat-proof spatula, until they have softened and caramelized, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Place a warm crêpe on a plate and spoon apples onto one half. Fold the crêpe over, then fold over again (to a quarter circle) to make room for another crêpe. Repeat with another crêpe. Top with a spoonful of crème fraiche or yogurt, and serve.

CARAMELIZED APPLES



Caramelized Apples image

These caramelized apples are meant to be slightly sweet, not overpowering and sugary, so they're versatile in nature. Spicy-tart and thoroughly warming, these apples are a fabulous addition to crepes or homemade ice cream. They're equally at home as an unexpected garnish for mildly spicy grilled chicken or a tropical menu from Martinique. Cook's note: For a delicious "cheater" dessert, fill a store-bought tart shell with these apples. With the homemade goodness of the apples and apple cider reduction sauce, nobody will guess your secret!

APPLE CARAMEL CALVADOS CREPES



Apple Caramel Calvados Crepes image

There is no doubt that this recipe is an undertaking, what with cooking the apples, making the crepes and some Calvados-flavored sauce. But if you want, you could do away with the sauce and crepes, and serve the buttery, almost caramelized apples over good vanilla ice cream. And even though you need to rustle up the three components, it is an easy choice when you have guests over, as everything can be made in advance. The apples and sauce can be reheated at the last minute and their warmth heats up the thin, pliable crepes.

Provided by Nigella Lawson

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup flour
1 1/3 cups milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, more for frying
2 teaspoons Calvados or Apple Jack
4 Gala apples
Juice of half a lemon
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup light or dark corn syrup
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons Calvados or Apple Jack

Steps:

  • In a blender or food processor, combine flour, milk and egg. Process just until blended. Pour into a pitcher and stir in 2 tablespoons melted butter and the Calvados.
  • Place a crepe pan or small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with butter. Allow pan to heat for about a minute; if it is not hot enough batter will not spread thinly. Ladle a scant 1/4-cup batter into pan and quickly swirl so batter forms a thin pancake. Return pan to heat and watch for tiny bubbles to form on surface and edges of pancake. Flip pancake; it should be light golden brown. Allow to cook about 30 seconds longer, then transfer to a plate lined with parchment paper. Continue making pancakes, layering each one with parchment. Crepes may be covered and stored at room temperature for up to a day.
  • Peel, core and cut each apple in two. Cut the two pieces into four wedges, and cut each wedge crosswise. Place in a saucepan and add lemon juice, butter and sugar. Place over medium heat and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Cover and continue to cook and stir for another 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  • In a small saucepan combine the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes, then add cream and Calvados. Continue to simmer until thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • To assemble, place a room-temperature crepe on a plate. Spoon warm apple filling into center, and fold edges over it. Drizzle warm sauce on top. Repeat with remaining crepes, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, firm apples. This will ensure that the apples hold their shape when cooked and caramelized.
  • Peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will help the apples cook evenly and prevent the skin from becoming tough.
  • Slice the apples thinly. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the apples. This will give the apples plenty of room to spread out and caramelize.
  • Cook the apples over medium heat. This will help them caramelize slowly and evenly.
  • Stir the apples frequently. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Add a little bit of butter or oil to the skillet or griddle. This will help the apples caramelize and prevent them from sticking.
  • Sprinkle the apples with sugar. This will help them caramelize and give them a sweet flavor.
  • Cook the apples until they are tender and golden brown. This will usually take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve the caramelized apples immediately. They can be served on their own, or you can use them as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Caramelized apples are a delicious and versatile treat. They can be enjoyed on their own, or they can be used as a topping for other desserts. They are also a great way to use up leftover apples. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make caramelized apples at home.
