Instructions
For apple filling:
- Combine cinnamon and nutmeg with 2 tablespoons of water in a small pot. Heat and stir to dissolve. Add apples and lemon juice and toss. Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 2 tablespoons water, 3 apples, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For crepes:
- Whisk together eggs, coconut flour, oil, water, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and about 1/4 teaspoon of salt. If the batter is still thick, add a little more water.4 eggs, 2 tablespoons coconut flour, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 cup water, ¼ cup pumpkin, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, salt
- Heat your pan. Add about a tablespoon of oil to the hot pan and swirl to cover the bottom of the pan. Pour a little more than a 1/4 cup of batter for each crepe and swirl to spread evenly. Cook on a low flame until golden on the bottom, about 1-2 minutes. Loosen the edge of crepe with a spatula. Flip and cook the other side, another 1-2 more minutes. Repeat for each crepe.oil for the pan
- Spoon apple mixture on top of crepe and carefully roll. Make sure to roll each crepe up while it is still warm. When the crepes cool down, they become a bit too delicate to roll. Also make sure to wipe your pan clean after making each crepe so that the next one doesn’t burn. Voilà! Beautiful pumpkin crepes each time. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Can I make the apple filling ahead of time? Yes, you can make the apple filling ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat it gently before using.
What type of apples are best for the filling? For the filling today, I used Delicious apples. Apples that are firm and slightly tart, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp would also work. They hold their shape well and provide a nice balance of sweetness and tanginess.
Can I add other fillings or toppings to these crepes? Definitely! These crepes are versatile. You can add other fruit fillings, such as berries or pears, or top them with chopped nuts or seeds or coconut whipped cream.
How should I store leftover crepes? Store leftover crepes separate from the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave.
