Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Servings 10 Crêpes

Ingredients

For the crêpe dough

  • 250 g flour
  • 500 ml milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract (or vanilla pulp)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp melted butter

For the baked apple and cinnamon filling

  • 2 large apples
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2-3 tbsp brown sugar or honey
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1-2 tbsp chopped nuts
  • 2 tbsp raisins
  • 2-3 tbsp cream for deglazing

Instructions

  • For the crêpe batter, mix the flour, salt, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Whisk the eggs and milk together and slowly pour into the flour mixture, stirring constantly. Stir in the vanilla and melted butter. Let the batter rest for 10–20 minutes so that it becomes nice and smooth and elastic.
  • For the baked apple filling, melt the butter in a pan. Add the diced apples and sauté briefly. Add the sugar/honey, cinnamon, spices, nuts, and raisins. Continue to simmer until the apples are soft. Deglaze with a little cream and reduce briefly to create a slightly thick sauce. Set the filling aside to keep warm.
  • Heat a coated pan and lightly grease it. Pour in a small ladleful of batter, swirl the pan, and spread the batter thinly. Cook the crêpe on both sides until golden brown. Repeat this process until all the batter is used up.
  • Spread 2–3 spoonfuls of baked apple filling on one side of each warm crêpe. Carefully roll up the wrap, cut it in half with a knife, and serve dusted with powdered sugar.
