Instructions
To prepare crepe batter (do ahead and let rest)
- Put all of the crepe ingredients (milk, egg, flour, melted butter and salt) in a blender and blend together until smooth. Alternatively mix with a hand blender. Set aside for a good 30 minutes or more, if possible, or at least while you prepare the filling.
For apple filling
- Peel and core the apple and cut into small slices or a relatively small dice. Add the lemon juice to the bowl, toss gently, then add the cinnamon and brown sugar. Mix everything together so the apples are evenly coated.
- Warm the butter over a medium-low heat in a medium skillet/frying pan and add the apples. Stir to coat the apples in the butter and spread into an even layer. Cook for around 6 - 8 minutes, stirring now and then, until the apples are gently soft and the liquid has reduced to a thicker more caramel-like consistency. Set aside.
To cook crepes
- Warm a crepe pan over a medium heat and brush lightly with oil or use a little butter (if needed - may not if it's a seasoned non-stick). Using a small scoop or measure, take approximately ¼ cup (60ml) of the mixture at a time, or more for a larger pan, and swirl on the pan to create a thin relatively even layer. The best way is to hold it as you pour on in the middle, and rotate the pan to circle it round.
- Leave the crepe on the heat until the surface is dry and the edges start to gently brown and curl up. Flip over and cook a minute more on the other side. Remove from pan or flip over again, if needed, and add a spoonful of the apple filling, roll up the crepe and serve. Alternatively, you can place the crepes in a stack wrapped in a clean cloth while you cook the rest then add filling to all of them at the end. You can also add a little cream or ice cream to serve, or dust with powdered sugar.
Notes
- I recommend you use a firm apple for the filling, ideally one that's sweet-tart, such as gala, braeburn, fuji or honeycrisp.
- I used ¼ cup (60ml) of batter per crepe as my crepe pan is not all that big and got around 5 crepes, plus one smaller (the test one!). If you make a little smaller, you will get 6 even, or a little larger and you will get 4. Do as you prefer and as your pan allows.
