Gluten Free Apple Crepes

These gluten free apple crepes are really, really good, but they do take a little more time to make. Although they take more time, I definitely think they are worth it!

I did not grow up having crepes, so I never had them until I was an adult. They are so good! I don’t know if I make them correctly, but the end result tastes great! I had a little trouble at first with the batter, until I read a recipe that said to use a blender to mix the batter. This has helped a lot, because the eggs get blended in better. I start with a hot pan (no oil or butter in the pan). Using a small ladle, I take two scoops of batter and pour into the pan. Now, the instructions that I have seen say to swirl the pan to spread the batter around, but this never works for me, so I use my ladle and spread the batter around using a circular motion.

When the top of the crepe is dry, go ahead and flip it over. Then, just leave it on that side for a short time because it does not take long to cook this side.

I like to freeze the crepes that we don’t eat right away, so I place them between sheets of wax paper so that they don’t stick together.

Most recipes that I have seen use whipped cream in the filling, but I don’t usually plan ahead when making crepes, so I don’t normally have any on hand. Because of this, I came up with my own recipe for a cream cheese spread. It is not light and fluffy, but still tastes good! I spread it over the whole crepe. I will have the recipe below.

Then, I roll it up.

For the apple topping, I just bought a can of apple pie filling and mashed it up with a fork. You could also make your own apple pie filling and that would probably taste even better!

After mashing up the apple pie filling, I spread a little on top of the rolled up crepe.

Next, drizzle some caramel sauce over the top. I used Smucker’s caramel that is in the ice cream topping section in the store. This is so good!

Finally, top the gluten free apple crepe with chopped walnuts.
