These apple crepes with cinnamon are simply perfect for the holiday season but can be enjoyed all year round. The recipe is vegan (dairy-free, egg-free), gluten-free, and easy to make. They taste best with a homemade caramel sauce.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oats ground into flour
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 4 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp flax seed ground
- 1 tsp baking powder
Wet ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup plant based milk
- 1 banana
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- oil for frying
Apple Filling
- 3 apples peeled, cored and chopped
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp plant based milk
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Caramel Sauce
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
Instructions
- To make the crepes simply put all dry ingredients into a bowl and stir with a whisk.
- Process all wet ingredients (except the oil) in a food processor or blender.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir with a whisk to combine.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes. Heat a little oil in a small/medium-sized non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, and spread it with the back of a ladle. Cook for about 2-4 minutes or until you can easily lift a side of the crepe (don't try to flip the crepe too early). After you flipped the crepe, cook for a further 1-2 minutes.
- Note: After a while, the batter will get thicker, so you might need to add more milk. I typically add up to 50 ml in addition once the batter thickens. Continue until you have no batter left.
- For the apple filling, simply add all ingredients to a skillet or saucepan and stir (without heat). Then turn on the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Let simmer for a few minutes over low/medium heat.
- Place a few tsp of filling onto each crepe, roll it up and serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce (see recipe below in the notes). Enjoy!
Caramel Sauce
- Add peanut butter to a small bowl.
- Heat water and sugar in a pan and bring to a boil.
- Pour the sugar mixture over the nut butter and mix with a whisk
