If You Have One Apple, 2 Eggs, And A Few Pantry Staples, Make Delicious Crepes In Just 10 Minutes

Crepes may be French staples, but you don't have to travel to enjoy them. These delicious thin pancakes are easy to make at home, whether you enjoy them with sweet or savory fillings, rolled up and dipped in maple syrup, or as-is for breakfast or dessert. Fruits like bananas and strawberries are among the most popular crepe ingredients, but try using apples for fall-inspired flavor.

To make apple crepes, you'll need one apple, two eggs, and baking essentials like flour, sugar, salt, milk, melted butter, and cinnamon and vanilla extract. You'll start by shredding the apple with a cheese grater, then combining it with the wet and dry ingredients in a basic crepe batter recipe. Once assembled, you'll lightly fry the batter in a greased skillet until each crepe is lightly browned in the middle and has nice, flaky edges.

The result? Sweet apple crepes with a pleasant chewy center and melt-in-your-mouth flavor. And if you enjoyed them too quickly, you can always adjust ingredient measurements to make bigger batches. 

Apple crepes take as little as 10 minutes, and up to 45 minutes to prep and cook, depending on how many you make and how elaborately you plan to serve them. Meaning, you'll have plenty of time to brainstorm toppings and delicious ways to serve them. If you can't decide, try drizzling crepes with caramel sauce or maple syrup, or sprinkle them with powdered sugar and ground cinnamon for a warm, sweet touch.

If you like nuts, pour a handful of walnuts or pecan pieces on top of apple crepes for a toasty crunch. Or serve them with high-protein Greek yogurt for a filling breakfast and a dollop of whipped cream for dessert. To take them up a notch, you can whip up caramelized apple slices for crepe filling.

For a decadent stuffed creation, saute apples with brown sugar and butter until soft and gooey. Then, spread the slices onto crepes and fold — just like the Parisian cafes make.
