Apple Crepes are a perfect dessert with light crepes and spiced apples. Family and friends will definitely be asking seconds!
An apple (crepe) a day keeps the doctor away and with this month's #12bloggers recipes, you can have almost 2 weeks worth of new recipes to try. Summer is still here - thank goodness - but soon we'll be turning to apples to make some scrumptious recipes!
So glad the group decided on apples this time around so I can get some new ideas. I'm sharing these apple crepes that I hope you will enjoy!
We have an apple tree in our back yard. Just one tree, but I've been told by the DIY Guy that it is loaded. Last year we harvested about 300 and looks like we have another bumper crop.
We got a head start to picking last weekend when our 2 year old granddaughter reached up and picked one off to eat. First I surprised she could reach the lower branches, and then thought since it was still green, she might not like it but she ended up eating most of it. She shares well and offered a bite to us all! She's such a cutie!
Please don't be intimidated to make crepes - I always thought, wow, they look so good but must be hard to make. But I couldn't have been more wrong. It is basically a thin pancake batter and with a slippery pan, they cook perfectly!

How great that you have an apple tree in your backyard! I have a lemon and orange tree, but they don't get nearly as much fruit as your apple tree produces! This is a lovely dish! Crepes are so delicate and special!
