apple crepes

This morning for breakfast I made apple crepes! They turned out pretty darn good if you ask me! I'm pretty proud of myself because I've never made them before. I don't have a fully stocked kitchen so they were pretty basic, but still good!

i used this recipe for the crepes:
  • 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. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
  3. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.

then I stuck them in the oven to stay warm while I made the apples:
I found the recipe from Martha Stewart.. but you know Martha... so I changed it a bit.


  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 apples, peeled and cut into pieces

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet set over medium heat. Add granulated sugar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar turns amber in color, about 5 minutes. If caramel starts to get too dark, remove skillet from heat. Add apples, and cook, turning apples over, until soft and completely caramelized.

I took a picture of mine, but they looked like a burrito with pineapple on top. haha

enjoy. they really are easy! try it!
