Ingredients – Crepes

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

1 cup milk

2 eggs

3 Tablespoons melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch salt

Ingredients – Apple Filling

6 fresh tart apples — peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick

2 to 3 Tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar (depending on variety of apple used)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon allspice

2 Tablespoons lemon juice with freshly grated zest

6 Tablespoons unsalted butter

Ingredients – Hot Cranberry Syrup

1 cup white sugar

3 Tablespoons cornstarch

2 cups cold water

2 cups fresh cranberries

1 or 2 drops red food coloring (optional)

Instructions:

Crepes: Sift together flour and sugar in a small bowl. Combine remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add dry mixture and beat until smooth. Lightly grease a 6-inch non-stick skillet over medium/high heat. Coat the bottom with about 3 Tablespoons of batter, spreading to cover the bottom of the skillet. Cook until crepe is lightly brown; flip and quickly brown the other side. Stack between layers of parchment or waxed paper until all crepes are cooked. Makes a dozen.

Apple Filling: Prepare the apples and place in a large bowl. Combine the sugar and spice with the cornstarch and sprinkle over the apples. Coat the fruit well. Melt the butter over a medium flame/heat and add the apple mixture. Saute several minutes until juices emerge, lower flame/heat, and continue to simmer until apples are “tender crisp” — maybe 5 minutes more (again, depending on the variety used). Turn off flame/heat, cover apples, and hold warm.

Hot Cranberry Syrup: Combine sugar with cornstarch and mix well. Add cold water and stir over medium flame/heat until sugar begins to dissolve. Add cranberries and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to a low boil and continue cooking as cranberries begins to burst and mixture thickens nicely, approximately 5 to 7 minutes more. Add 1 or 2 drops of red food coloring if the cranberries haven’t provided enough color.

To serve: Fill each crepe with 2 to 3 spoonfuls of warm apple filling, fold to center, adorn with beautiful red cranberry syrup, and garnish with a sprig of edible greenery. Enjoy!
