These cozy whole wheat apple crêpes are filled with tender caramelized apples and warm spices, perfect for a comforting breakfast or light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for filling)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
  2. While batter rests, cook the apple filling. In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter and add sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft and caramelized.
  3. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
  4. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirl to coat evenly, and cook 1-2 minutes until edges lift. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter.
  5. Fill each crêpe with a spoonful of warm apple mixture and fold as desired. Drizzle with extra sauce from the pan.
  6. Serve warm, optionally topped with powdered sugar or yogurt.

Notes

  • Letting the batter rest ensures soft and tender crêpes.
  • Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for best texture.
  • Batter can be made the night before and stored in the fridge.
  • Leftover crêpes can be frozen with parchment between each one.
