Instructions
Step 1
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
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
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
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!

Variations
If you’re looking to cater to dietary preferences, these apple cinnamon crepes can easily be adapted! 🌱✨
For Gluten-Free Lovers: Substitute regular flour with a gluten-free blend or almond flour. Make sure to check that all other ingredients, like baking powder and sugar, are also gluten-free!
For Vegan Versions: Replace the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water per egg), and use plant-based milk and oil instead of dairy. These swaps maintain that delightful texture!
Embrace creativity while making these variations, and don’t hesitate to play around with different flavors and fillings to wow your guests! 😋
Faq
- How do I prevent the crepes from tearing while cooking?
To prevent tearing, make sure your batter is smoothly blended, and don't overcook them! Flipping them too early can lead to breakage. Wait until the edges start to lift before turning them over.
- Can I prepare the batter in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the batter a few hours in advance and store it in the fridge. Just give it a good stir before using, as it may settle.

Consider adding a touch of lemon juice or nutmeg for an exciting twist! You can also experiment with different types of apples for varying sweetness!

Store any leftover crepes in an airtight container in the fridge. They can typically last up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave!

Cover the cooked crepes with a clean kitchen towel placed on a plate to keep them warm and moist while you finish cooking the rest!
