Fall Crepes

With the Fall weather upon us and it being apple season, I decided to make Crepes topped with an Apple and Craisin compote.

In Oregon, we are well known for our apples, we have a huge variety available locally. I combined Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, the crepes were delicious! and the leftover compote ended up in hot cereal, YUM!

Crepe Batter

• 1/2 Cup Flour
• 2 Tbs Sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1 Cup Milk
• 1 Tbs butter (melted)
• 1/4 tsp salt

This Recipe makes about 3-4 of the 10" pancakes or two servings

Use a "10-12" round non-stick skillet or frying pan.

First lightly beat the egg in a medium sized bowl, then add sugar, milk, salt and flour, mix well, melt the butter in the frying pan (or skillet) then while stirring the mixture add melted butter to it, continue mixing until there are no lumps, don't forget to scrape the sides of the bowl.

Once the batter is well mixed, then over medium heat pour just enough batter in the pan to cover the bottom of the pan, cook until the top of it is "dry" then flip the pancake. This takes a fair amount of finesse, as the pancake is large and not very 'tough'.

Get the spatula underneath the pancake and make sure that all around the pancake is loose first, then quickly flip it. After the flip, shake the pan a bit to get the pancake flat

Cook each one for about 30 seconds only after the flip. Slide the finished pancake out onto a dinner plate. I buttered them and rolled them up 2-3 at a time and topped with the compote and powdered sugar.

Apple Compote

• 2 apples peeled, cored and sliced somewhat thinly
• 1/2 cup of Craisins
• Butter (2 tbl)
• 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
• dash of salt

Place your apples in a non stick pan, add your butter and saute on medium, if the pan appears to be drying out, add some water. Keep stirring on occasion.

Add your Craisins and brown sugar, a dash of salt. Continue stirring until your apples are tender and the sauce has almost caramelized.

After the Crepes are done, roll them up Jelly Roll style (I butter them before rolling them up) and top with the Apple Compote

Dust on some Confectioners Sugar
