My Culinary Adventures: Crêpes with Apple-Cinnamon Filling & Topping

Who doesn't love crêpes?  They can be filled with almost anything and served for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and even dessert!  Back in elementary school when I lived in Jordan, my best friend at the time and I would eat the crêpes her mother made for us and they were incredibly delicious.  We liked to smear butter over it and watch it melt, then sprinkle sugar and squeeze lemon juice on top, then roll it up and eat it!  Here is a variation :)



Recipe
Crêpes: Recipe from Allrecipes.com
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. 
  2. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. 
  3. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. 
  5. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. 
  6. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
  7. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. 
  8. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.

Apple-Cinnamon Filling Ingredients:
1 Apple finely chopped
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp powdered sugar
Pinch of cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg

  1. Fry all ingredients together until apple pieces are soft.
  2. To thicken the sauce, add corn starch, or if you don't have corn starch, you can substitute flour/water.
