Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 1 cup gluten free flour
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Apple Filling
- 2 apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a bowl, combine gluten free flour, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and free of lumps.
- Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the crepes: Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet, swirling the pan gently to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
- First side cooking: Allow the crepe to cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to lift away from the pan and the bottom is lightly browned.
- Flip the crepe: Carefully turn the crepe over using a spatula and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until set and lightly golden.
- Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter into crepes, adding a bit more coconut oil to the skillet if necessary.
- Sauté the apples: In a separate pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the sliced apples and brown sugar, cooking until the apples are tender and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the crepes: Spoon the warm sautéed apples onto each crepe and fold them as desired.
- Serve: Serve the filled crepes warm for a comforting treat.
Notes
- Use gluten free flour blend that includes xanthan gum or add 1/4 tsp xanthan gum for better texture.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or brown sugar based on preference.
- If batter is too thick, add a splash more almond milk to thin it out.
- These crepes can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 days and gently reheated in a skillet.
- Fresh apples provide the best flavor; try using sweet-tart varieties like Fuji or Gala.
