Thin, warm apple pie crepes filled with a cooking apple cinnamon filling (that tastes just like apple pie – have I said apple pie enough?) and topped with a light whipped coconut cream. I’d say that’s a perfect way to begin the day!
I personally think crepes are often overshadowed by oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, etc., and I’m not quite sure why. They are super easy to make, only require a few, simple ingredients, and can be filled with a variety of foods, from chocolate to lemon curd, fruits, and even savory ingredients!
I love when a dish is labeled as “breakfast” but in reality it’s a yummy treat suitable for dessert. I’m not saying these apple pie crepes could be a dessert but I’m also not saying they can’t be either. Listen, I’ll eat this “breakfast” dish every morning if you know what I mean!
Apple Pie Crepes
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup full-fat milk of choice - see notes
- ¾ cup water
- 1 cup sprouted whole-wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 5 apples - cored and chopped
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 can coconut milk - see notes
Instructions
- Start with the apple filling by combining all filling ingredients in a medium to large saucepan. Place saucepan on the stove over medium heat and bring to a low simmer. Cook until apples soften, stirring occasionally, about 30-40 minutes.
- While apples are cooking, begin making the crepes by adding the eggs, milk, and water to large mixing bowl. Whisk for about 1-2 minutes, or until mixed well and lightly frothy.
- Add in flour and cinnamon and whisk again for 1-2 minutes.
- Heat a round pan on the stovetop over low heat. Coat the pan with coconut oil then pour about ¼ cup crepe batter into pan. Swirl the pan to evenly disperse the batter then place it back over the heat.
- * I recommend using an 8-10” pan
- Cook about 2-4 minutes, or until the surface of crepe is set. Flip and cook another 1-3 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
- * If you prefer soft crepes, cook 1-2 minutes per side. For a more classic crepe, cook a bit longer or until golden brown on both sides.
- Lay cooked crepes on a plate or flat surface until ready to eat.
- Spoon solid portion of coconut cream into a mixing bowl. Beat on high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the crepes by evenly filling each with apple pie mix and topping with whipped coconut cream. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use any full-fat milk of choice. Cow, coconut, cashew, or almond milks are all good choices.
- I recommend placing the can of coconut cream in the fridge the night before you make the recipe. It helps harden the solid portions, which you’ll use for the cream.
[…] Speaking of apples, last fall I made one of my favorite desserts. I’ve made it a few times since and I super encourage you to make it for you and your loved ones. It’s the Spiced Apple Biscuit Cobbler, and it’s to die for. The Apple Pie Truffles are simple to make and the Homemade Apple Crepes with Whipped Cream Topping. […]
