Caramelized Apple Crepes Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sift together flour and salt. Whisk in eggs, egg yolk, and about 1 tablespoon milk, forming a smooth batter with a pastelike consistency. Add remaining milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla; mix until no lumps remain. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a nonstick skillet, and stir into the batter; leave a film of butter in the skillet. Let the batter rest at room temperature about 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to warm. Over medium-low heat, warm the skillet thoroughly. Stir batter, and carefully ladle about 1/4 cup batter into skillet. Rotate skillet so batter spreads out and thinly coats the bottom and edges of the skillet. Return skillet to heat, and cook crepe until edges turn golden brown and lacy, and start to pull away from the skillet, about 2 minutes. Using a knife or an offset spatula, carefully turn crepe over; cook other side until just golden, 30 to 40 seconds. Slide the crepe onto a heat-proof plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stirring it before making another crepe. Stack cooked crepes on top of one another.
• Loosely cover plate of crepes with aluminum foil, and place in the oven to keep warm.
• Place apples in a medium bowl. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, cinnamon, and ginger. Toss to coat.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet set over medium heat. Add granulated sugar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar turns amber in color, about 5 minutes. If caramel starts to get too dark, remove skillet from heat. Add apples, and cook, turning apples over, until soft and completely caramelized. Pour Calvados into a measuring cup, then pour into skillet. Carefully ignite the alcohol, and allow the flame to burn out, 2 to 3 minutes, shaking skillet to toss the apples in the syrup. Remove apples from heat; let cool slightly.
• Combine creme fraiche, remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and confectioners' sugar in a chilled mixing bowl. Whip mixture until light, fluffy, and almost doubled in volume.
• Remove the crepes from oven, and transfer to six serving plates. Spoon a scant 1/2 cup caramelized apples onto each crepe, and dust lightly with confectioners' sugar. Spoon a generous amount of creme-fraiche mixture over apples. Fold crepes, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add brown sugar and 2 tablespoons syrup; cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add apples; cook until apples are tender., In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, cinnamon and remaining syrup until smooth. Spread over crepes. Fold crepes into quarters and serve with apple mixture. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.

Steps:

• Place milk, water, eggs and salt in a blender. Cover blender and turn on at low speed. Add flours, then butter or oil and increase speed to high. Blend for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Place a nonstick or seasoned 8-inch crêpe pan over medium heat. Brush with butter or oil and when pan is hot, just before it begins to smoke, remove from the heat and ladle in about 3 tablespoons batter. Tilt or swirl pan to distribute batter evenly and return to the heat. Cook for about 1 minute, until you can easily loosen the edges with a spatula. Turn and cook on the other side for 20 to 30 seconds. Reverse onto a plate. Continue until all of batter is used up. Keep warm in a low oven.
• To make the caramelized apples, heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter. When it begins to color add sugar, apples, cinnamon and nutmeg. Turn heat to high and cook the apples, shaking and flipping them in the pan or stirring with a heat-proof spatula, until they have softened and caramelized, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Place a warm crêpe on a plate and spoon apples onto one half. Fold the crêpe over, then fold over again (to a quarter circle) to make room for another crêpe. Repeat with another crêpe. Top with a spoonful of crème fraiche or yogurt, and serve.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the apples to the pan and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Sauté the apples, stirring frequently, for 6-8 minutes, until they just start to turn tender.
• Sprinkle the apples with the remaining sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest.
• Toss the mixture gently and cook over medium heat for an additional 2 minutes, until the sugar begins to caramelize and the apples are crisp-tender.
• Transfer the apples from the skillet to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Turn the heat to high and add the apple cider to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits.
• Reduce the heat slightly and allow the cider and the pan juices to simmer for 1-3 minutes, until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.
• If you desire a thicker sauce, dissolve the cornstarch in a teaspoon of water, stir it into the sauce, and allow it to thicken for a moment.
• Pour the finished sauce over the warm apples and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place 1/4 cup raisins in small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of rum or brandy. Set aside.
• Crepes:.
• Combine flour, milk, eggs, oil and salt; beat until smooth and lump free.
• Heat a small skillet or crepe pan, spray with non-stick oil and remove from heat.
• Spoon in 2 Tbsp batter; tilt skillet to spread evenly.
• Return to heat; brown on one side.
• Invert pan over paper towel to remove.
• Repeat with remaining batter.
• Apple Filling:.
• In a heavy small saucepan melt butter, add brown sugar; cook and stir over medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved and creamy. Remove from heat. Slowly and carefully stir in whipping cream (mixture will bubble up).
• Set aside.
• Toss apple slices with lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add apple slices; cook, uncovered, for 4 to 6 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally. Add raisins and 1/4 of the caramel sauce.
• Top crepes (browned side down) with apple mixture and fold (browned side is now showing). Place 2-3 crepes on individual serving dishes; top with pecans and dust with powdered sugar.
• Serve with ice cream with caramel sauce drizzled over top.

Steps:

• Make apple mixture:
• Toss apple with sugar and cinnamon. Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook apple, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Cool.
• Make batter:
• Whisk together eggs, sugar, milk, rum, and oil, then whisk in flour and salt until batter is smooth.
• Make crêpes:
• Stir apple mixture into batter. Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter in a 7-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Ladle about 1/4 cup batter into skillet, tilting skillet to coat evenly, and quickly separate any overlapping apple slices. Cook, shaking skillet occasionally to prevent sticking and reducing heat as necessary to avoid overbrowning, until crêpe begins to set, about 1 minute.
• Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon sugar over crêpe, then flip. Tuck 1/2 tablespoon butter under cr‪pe and cook over moderately low heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until bottom is browned and caramelized, about 2 minutes. Invert onto a plate.
• Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel and make more crêpes in same manner.

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine flour, milk and egg. Process just until blended. Pour into a pitcher and stir in 2 tablespoons melted butter and the Calvados.
• Place a crepe pan or small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with butter. Allow pan to heat for about a minute; if it is not hot enough batter will not spread thinly. Ladle a scant 1/4-cup batter into pan and quickly swirl so batter forms a thin pancake. Return pan to heat and watch for tiny bubbles to form on surface and edges of pancake. Flip pancake; it should be light golden brown. Allow to cook about 30 seconds longer, then transfer to a plate lined with parchment paper. Continue making pancakes, layering each one with parchment. Crepes may be covered and stored at room temperature for up to a day.
• Peel, core and cut each apple in two. Cut the two pieces into four wedges, and cut each wedge crosswise. Place in a saucepan and add lemon juice, butter and sugar. Place over medium heat and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Cover and continue to cook and stir for another 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
• In a small saucepan combine the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes, then add cream and Calvados. Continue to simmer until thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To assemble, place a room-temperature crepe on a plate. Spoon warm apple filling into center, and fold edges over it. Drizzle warm sauce on top. Repeat with remaining crepes, and serve.
