Ingredients
  • CREPES
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2½ cups whole milk (a touch more if needed)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

  • FOR THE FILLING
  • 2 apples, peeled and sliced thinly
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons brandy
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Whipped cream for serving
Preparation Instructions
  1. Make the crepe batter first as it should sit for about 30 minutes before making the crepes (although I HAVE skipped this and they still turn out well - not as tender but when you are baking for children I think that's alright!).
  2. Simply combine all the ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl and whisk to combine. The batter should be fairly runny so when you pour it into the pan it will run around and form the crepe.
  3. Set aside.
  4. Place the ingredients for the filling in a medium saucepan, turn onto medium and bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer while you make the crepes, stirring regularly, until the apples are soft and the sauce is sightly thick.
  6. Heat up a pan to make crepes over medium heat. I use a cast iron pan personally and it works great so you don't need anything special just something you can lift easily.
  7. Make sure your pan is well heated.
  8. Add a tiny little bit of butter to the pan and smear it around.
  9. Use a ¼ cup measuring cup and pour the batter into the pan, while you pour swirl the pan around so the batter makes a thin coating on the entire bottom of the pan.
  10. Allow that to sit and slightly brown, then slide a spatula under and flip it over and brown the other side.
  11. Place the crepe on a paper towel to cool and repeat, stacking up the crepes as you go.
  12. Once you have all the crepes made and the sauce is ready, place a crepe on a plate and scoop some filling into the middle. Roll up the crepe and top with whipped cream.
