Apple Cinnamon Crepes Breakfast (Print)

Cinnamon-kissed crepes folded around buttery apples, perfect for a cozy breakfast or casual brunch.

# Ingredients:

→ Batter

01 - 125 g all-purpose flour (substitute gluten-free if desired)
02 - 30 g granulated sugar
03 - 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
04 - 0.25 teaspoon salt
05 - 360 ml milk (dairy or plant-based)
06 - 3 large eggs (room temperature)
07 - 30 g unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Apple Filling

09 - 3 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Gala, or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
10 - 30 g unsalted butter
11 - 50 g packed brown sugar
12 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
13 - 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
14 - 1 pinch salt
15 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
16 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice

→ Optional Toppings

17 - Powdered sugar, for dusting
18 - Maple syrup, for drizzling
19 - Whipped cream, for serving
20 - Chopped nuts, for garnish

# Steps:

01 - Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry, whisking until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
02 - Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add sliced apples and sauté for 2–3 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt; cook until apples are tender, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and lemon juice.
03 - Preheat a non-stick skillet (20–25 cm) over medium heat and brush lightly with melted butter. Pour approximately 60 ml of batter into the pan, swirling to cover the surface evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes until golden underneath, flip, and briefly cook the other side for 20–30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
04 - Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of warm apple filling along the center of each crepe. Fold crepes into quarters or roll up to enclose the filling.
05 - Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm. Optionally top with maple syrup, whipped cream, and chopped nuts.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Allow the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes to produce tender, thin crepes.
02 - For stronger flavor, toast cinnamon before adding to the batter.
03 - Apples can be prepared in advance and gently reheated as needed.
