Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Special equipment needed:
- Non-stick skillet
- Spatula
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, water, salt, and melted butter until smooth. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the crêpe batter onto the skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
4. Cook the crêpe for 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift up and the bottom is lightly browned. Flip the crêpe over and cook for another 30 seconds.
5. Repeat with the remaining batter until all the crêpes are cooked.
6. To assemble, place a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each crêpe and fold the edges over to create a pocket.
7. Dust the crêpes with powdered sugar before serving.
