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 (divided: some for cooking crepes, some for sautéing apples)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a bowl, thoroughly mix gluten free flour, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until you achieve a smooth batter without lumps.
- Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil to coat the surface lightly.
- Cook the crepes: Pour a ladle of batter into the skillet and quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges begin to lift slightly.
- Flip and finish cooking: Flip the crepe carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Repeat the crepes: Continue with the remaining batter, adding coconut oil to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.
- Sauté the apples: In another pan, heat the remaining coconut oil over medium heat. Add the peeled and sliced apples along with the brown sugar, sautéing until the apples are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the crepes: Spoon the warm sautéed apples onto each crepe, then fold or roll the crepes to enclose the filling.
- Serve warm: Serve the apple cinnamon crepes immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use gluten-free flour blend suitable for baking to ensure the best texture for crepes.
- Almond milk can be substituted with other plant-based milks if preferred.
- Adjust cinnamon amount to taste for more or less spice.
- For a sweeter crepe, drizzle additional maple syrup over the filled crepes before serving.
- To keep crepes warm while finishing the batch, place cooked crepes on a plate covered loosely with foil.
- Ensure your skillet is well heated and lightly oiled to prevent crepes from sticking.
