Ingredients
  

For the Crepe

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Sugar optional
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 Eggs
  • 8 ounces Milk
  • 1 tbsp Butter for greasing the pan
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Optional

For the Caramalized Apple

  • 2 Large tart apples - cored and diced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon - ground
  • 4 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 2 tbsp Cream
  • 1 tsp Corn starch (Optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare Crepe

  • Combine all ingredients into a large bowl. Blend with a whisk until they’re uniformly combined. The batter should be like thin cream and have no lumps. Add more milk or flour to the batter until you’ve got the consistency you like.
  • Let the batter rest for 1/2 hour, covered at room temp so the flour can absorb the liquid (Optional). The batter can be made and refrigerated a day in advance as well.
  • Preheat your pan over medium-high heat.
  • If you have a well-seasoned crepe pan or cast-iron pan, all you need to do is wipe the surface with a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil. If you're using stainless steel, you can swirl little butter in the pan to coat the bottom to ensure it doesn’t stick
  • Pour in just enough batter to coat the bottom as you tip and tilt the pan.
  • Allow it to cook for a minute or so, untouched, until it's set. Then gently flip the crepe and cook the second side for a few minutes.
  • If you like a thinner crepe after cooking it, add little milk to the batter until you achieve the desired consistency
  • As you make more crepes, place them on a rack. Crepes can be eaten right away or they can be let to cool.
  • When they're cold enough to handle, stack them, cover them, and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to use them.

Prepare Caramalized Apple

  • Wash and Dice Apples. Add Cinnamon and mix well.
  • In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add apples and cook, stirring constantly until apples are almost tender. It is about 7 to 8 minutes
  • Add brown sugar and stir well until the apple is caramelized.
  • Add water and boil for another 3 minutes, stirring continuously.
  • Add cream and when it is thick remove from heat and serve warm.
