Cinnamon Apple Crepes Recipes

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!

CINNAMON APPLE CREPES

Steps:

• Prepare the crepe batter and cook the crepes according to this Crepe Recipe.
• If making the crepes the day before, stack them, place them in a freezer bag and store them in the refrigerator. If making them and serving them the same day, stack them on a place and keep at room temperature.
• Place the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground allspice and salt in a small bowl and stir to combine.
• Peel and chop the apples into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle with the lemon juice and toss the apples to coat them.
• Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, when it starts to bubble add the brown sugar and stir until the brown sugar-butter mixture until the sugar is thoroughly mixed in with the butter and just starts to bubble.
• Add the apples in a single layer, turn the heat up to medium-high heat and cook the apples until half the liquid is evaporated. When the apples are cooking at the beginning, they will release a lot of liquid, so the amount of liquid in the pan will increase by a lot. Add the spice mixture and stir to mix in the spices and continue to cook the apples until most of the liquid has evaporated and a thick syrup remains
• Occasionally stir the apples to make sure they don't burn, but for the most part let them cook undisturbed so they caramelize but are still a little firm by the time the liquid is evaporated and they have start caramelize.
• Remove the apples from the heat and spoon them into a wide bowl. Scrape the pan to get all the syrup.

YUMMY APPLE CINNAMON CREPES

Steps:

• Whisk eggs and salt together in a bowl. Gradually stir flour into eggs, alternately with 2 cups milk until fully incorporated. Beat 1/4 cup vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon into flour mixture. Refrigerate batter for at least 1 hour.
• Mix apples, sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons water in a pot.
• Whisk cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; pour into apple mixture.
• Simmer apple mixture over medium heat, stirring often, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Keep warm.
• Whisk 1 1/2 tablespoons milk into chilled batter.
• Heat about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a crepe or frying pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/3 cup batter into the heated oil; tip and rotate the crepe pan until the batter covers the entire area. Cook until the edges begin to curl away from the sides of the pan, about 30 seconds; flip the crepe and continue cooking until lightly golden on the other side, about 30 more seconds. Remove crepe from pan, add more oil, and repeat with remaining batter.
• Spoon the apple filling into each crepe; fold crepe over the filling and serve.

APPLE CREPES

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.

CINNAMON APPLE CREPES

Steps:

• In a medium/large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, flour, and salt. Mix until you get a creamy mixture; without any bumps or flaws on the surface.
• Heat a frying pan over medium high heat. When the pan is hot, add a small amount of butter (a teaspoon) and lightly spread it across the surface of the pan.
• Pour about a cup of the batter into the pan and spread it slowly across the pan's surface. Try to even it out as best as you can.
• After the course of two minutes, use a spatula to check the bottom of the crepe. Do not do it too early on, to avoid any dysfuction in the cooking. If you do, it may mess the structure of the thin crepe.
• After the side browns, lightly tip it over to cook the other side. Repeat the previous step, and then transfer to a plate or a platter to add the cinnamon and sugar.
• Slice the apples into somewhat thin layers, then place on the skillet. Add cinnamon as they are cooking to bring out the sweet and unique flavor. Cook them until they are somewhat brown or a dark yellow.
• Add a bit of sugar to the mixture then let them sit for a second or two to let the sugar sink inches.
• Transfer the apples to another plate.
• Tint the surface of the crepe with a bit of cinnamon and sugar. Use as much as you prefer.
• Add your favorite jelly of however much you want. Be careful not to add too much, as when you roll it up it may tear the surface.
• Lay in the cooked apples onto the surface. Be sure to keep them them towards the center to make it easy to curl up.
• Curl up the crepe slowly and carefully. Be careful not to rip them, they're very thin.
• Top it with a bit more cinnamon and sugar, then finish it with a bit of whipped cream.
