⏱ Prep Time: 15 minutes + 30 minutes resting time
⏳ Cook Time: 4–7 minutes per crêpe
🍽 Servings: 4
🥞 Ingredients:
For the Crêpe Batter:
✔️ 4 eggs
✔️ ½ teaspoon salt
✔️ 4 tbsp (50 g) brown sugar
✔️ 1 tsp vanilla extract (or 1 packet of vanilla sugar)
✔️ 1 apple (preferably a tart variety, sliced super thinly)
✔️ 1 cup (100 g) almond or coconut flour (for a nutty flavor)
✔️ 1 cup (120 g) spelt flour (or use regular flour if preferred)
✔️ 1½ cups (360 ml) milk (regular or plant-based)
✔️ 1½ cups (360 ml) oat milk (or any other milk of choice)
For Cooking & Topping:
✔️ Butter (for greasing the pan)
✔️ Cinnamon (for dusting)
✔️ Brown sugar (for sprinkling on top)
🥄 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, vanilla, and brown sugar until well combined.
2️⃣ Add the Flour: Slowly mix in both flours and stir well until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
3️⃣ Incorporate the Milk: Gradually pour in the milk and oat milk, stirring continuously until fully combined.
4️⃣ Slice the Apple: Cut the apple into super thin slices and add them to the batter. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
🍏 Cooking the Crêpes:
5️⃣ Heat the Pan: Place a frying pan over low heat and add a small amount of butter, letting it melt.
6️⃣ Cook the Crêpe: Pour a ladle (big soup spoon) of batter into the pan, spreading it out thinly (crêpes should be much thinner than pancakes!).
7️⃣ Slow & Even Cooking: Since the apples need time to cook through, keep the heat low and let the crêpe cook for about 4–7 minutes before flipping. The crêpe should be golden-brown on both sides.
8️⃣ Repeat: Continue with the remaining batter, adding a little butter before each crêpe.
✨ Serving & Toppings:
9️⃣ Top with Flavor: Before serving, sprinkle cinnamon and a little brown sugar over the crêpes for a warm, caramelized touch.
🔟 Enjoy Warm: Serve immediately and enjoy your Apple Crêpe à la Michèle!
