Ingredients
For the Crepes
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk plus a few teaspoons extra if needed for consistency
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Sugar granulated
- 2 tbsp Butter plus extra for greasing the pan
For the Caramelized Apple Filling
For the Orange Sauce
- 2 cup Orange Juice freshly squeezed is best
- 1/2 cup Sugar granulated
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Orange Zest for extra orange flavor, optional
Instructions
Prepare the Apple Filling
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. In a medium saucepan, combine the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Cook over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and caramelized.
Make the Orange Sauce
- In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, sugar, butter, and orange zest (if using). Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Make the Crepe Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, baking powder, salt, and sugar until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
Cook the Crepes
- Heat a lightly oiled crepe pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan and swirl to create a thin crepe. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Assemble the Crepes
- Place a spoonful of the caramelized apples in the center of each crepe. Fold the crepe in half, then in half again to form a triangle or roll it up tightly.
Serve
- Arrange the crepes on a serving plate. Drizzle generously with the warm orange sauce and serve immediately. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Crepes
- For extra-thin crepes, use a slightly thinner batter and cook them for a shorter time.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the crepes; work in batches to ensure even cooking.
- If the apples are too tart, add a pinch of extra brown sugar to the filling.
- For a richer orange sauce, use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest.
