SUPER-SIMPLE APPLE-CINNAMON DESSERT CREPES
Steps:
- In a small nonstick pot on the stove, combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir to dissolve. Add apples and lemon juice and stir. Bring to medium heat and cover. Cook until the apples have softened and liquid has thickened, about 5 minutes, uncovering often to stir.
- Remove the pot from heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Allow it to cool for several minutes. Thoroughly stir in cream cheese. Fold in whipped topping.
- Lay crepes flat on a dry surface. Evenly distribute the apple mixture between the crepes. Fold each crepe up envelope-style, first folding the sides in, and then folding/rolling it up from the bottom.
- Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Place the crepes in the skillet with the seam-sides down. Cook them until slightly browned, about 1 minute per side. (Flip carefully.)
- Plate your crepes and drizzle them with caramel dip. If you like, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Try not to pass out as you dig in!

Steps:
- Place milk, vanilla, and rum in blender. Add yolks, sugar, salt, flour, and then butter. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds. Scrape sides of blender; blend 30 seconds more. Transfer batter to an airtight container; refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Brush a 6 1/2-to-7-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet with oil. Heat on medium until just starting to smoke. Remove pan from heat; quickly pour 2 tablespoons of batter into middle of pan.
- Quickly (in 2 to 3 seconds) tilt pan in all directions so the batter covers entire bottom in a thin layer. Return pan to heat for about 1 minute. Jerk pan sharply back and forth to loosen the crepe.
- Lift edges with a spatula; if underside is golden brown, turn crepe by using two spatulas or by flipping crepe with a toss of the pan.
- Cook about 30 seconds more, until spotty brown. Slide crepe onto a plate. Grease pan again with oil, heat to just smoking, and repeat with remaining batter. To keep warm, cover with an ovenproof dish in a 200 degrees oven. Or make up to a day in advance; reheat, covered with foil, in a 300 degrees oven until warm.

Steps:
- Heat 8-inch skillet; grease lightly with oil.
- In small bowl, combine all ingredients; beat with eggbeater until batter is smooth.
- For each crepe, pour 2 tablespoons batter into hot skillet, immediately tilting pan until batter covers bottom.
- Cook until edges start to dry and center is set.
- If desired, turn to brown other side.
- To serve, fill each crepe with desired filling such as fruit, pudding or ice cream; roll up or fold over.
- Tips: To make ahead, prepare crepes; wrap in foil.
- Store in refrigerator up to 3 days or in freezer up to 3 months.
- To thaw, heat foil packet at 300°F for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Or wrap in paper towels and nuke.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use a Nonstick Pan: Crepes are delicate, so it's important to use a nonstick pan to prevent them from sticking. If you don't have a nonstick pan, you can grease a regular pan with butter or cooking spray.
- Heat the Pan Properly: The pan should be hot enough to sizzle when you add the batter, but not so hot that it smokes. If the pan is too hot, the crepes will burn.
- Use a Thin Layer of Batter: Crepes should be thin and delicate, so don't use too much batter. A good rule of thumb is to use about 2 tablespoons of batter for each crepe.
- Cook the Crepes for a Short Time: Crepes cook quickly, so don't overcook them. Cook each crepe for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown.
- Fill the Crepes Immediately: Crepes are best when they are filled immediately after they are cooked. This will help prevent them from drying out.
Conclusion:
Crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can be filled with a variety of sweet or savory ingredients, making them a great option for any occasion. With a little practice, you can learn to make perfect crepes at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give crepes a try!
