CARAMELIZED APPLE STUFFED CREPES


Comfort. Sweetness. Palate Sizzle. A few of the words I can use to describe this heart warming Breakfast dish. It's Apple Craving Season I tell yah! When making the Crepe Batter you have to be really careful about getting it right. The Batter should not be too thick as that will turn them into Pancakes. There are so many fillings that you can wrap into your Crepes, whether Savory, Fruits or Cream, the choice is yours to make. Or you can simply just eat the Crepes on their own, since they are a complete meal.Stuffed Crepes are a traditional Dessert that you cannot just eat one and be satisfied, you can eat them for Breakfast, Afternoon Lunch and even Dinner all in the same day. Today I decided to try my hand on Caramelized Apples to stuff into my Crepes. This is my first ever Crepes recipe and I am happy that they turned out great! I will definitely be making more Crepes Recipes and stuffing with different fillings. Meanwhile enjoy my Caramelized Apple Stuffed Crepes.
