Ingredients for Crepes

500 milliliters warm milk (about 2 cups)
2 large eggs
40 grams sugar (about 3 tablespoons)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 tablespoon vinegar
25 grams butter or vegetable oil (about 1.75 tablespoons)
160 grams flour (about 1.25 cups)
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Crepe Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, eggs, and salt. Whisk them together until smooth. Make sure the milk is not hot as it can cook the eggs.

Add in the baking soda mixed with vinegar and give it a gentle stir.

Next, incorporate the melted butter into the mixture, followed by the sifted flour and cornstarch. Use a blender with a whisk attachment to eliminate any lumps.

If desired, add in poppy seeds for added texture and flavor. Let the batter rest for 20-30 minutes to achieve the perfect consistency.

Step 2

Cook the Crepes

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Before cooking the first crepe, lightly grease the skillet with any oil of your choice.

Pour a ladleful of crepe batter into the skillet, swirling it to cover the bottom evenly.

Cook for about 10-15 seconds on one side, then flip the crepe. Be cautious not to overcook; otherwise, they will become dry.

If crepes tear while cooking, it indicates insufficient flour. Adjust by adding a little more flour.

Stack the cooked crepes on a plate, and if you prefer, you can brush each one with melted butter.

Step 3

Prepare the Apple Filling

In another skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Then, add chopped apples, sugar, and cinnamon.

Cook the apple mixture until the apples soften and become tender, stirring occasionally. This should take around 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Assemble and Bake the Crepes

Take a few crepes and cut them into quarters. Fill each piece with the apple mixture, folding or rolling them as preferred.

In a baking dish, layer the stuffed crepes, making sure to place them no more than two layers high. Generously brush each layer with melted butter or place small chunks of butter on top.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 40 minutes.

If you want a golden top, remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious apple cinnamon crepes!
