Apple Cinnamon Crepes with Greek Yogurt

I woke up this morning with a NEED to do something fun for myself.  I looked at the bowl of fresh fruit we have sitting on our counter and instantly thought, Apple Crepes!  It's a good thing my craving consisted of ingredients I had in my cupboard.

I am not what you would call a master chef, so recipes like crepes usually freak me out. But I managed to find one that seemed very simple and relatively fool-proof.

As I mixed my dry ingredients in the blender I was proud of myself for attempting such a fun breakfast on a whim.  After adding my eggs to the dry ingredients I emptied the blender and scraped the very thick batter into a bowl. This is when I realized I must have done something wrong. I'm pretty sure I could have built a stone wall with my batter. It was too thick.  I ran over to my recipe to find I had forgotten to add the milk! All 1 and a 1/4 cup of it!  After adding the milk this is what I poured into my bowl.  Much better.



The batter has to set for 30 minutes on the counter so I peeled and chopped my apples.  I mixed my cinnamon and sugar and I melted my butter in the pan.  This is when my house started to smell like a little local dinery.  Buttery cinnamon deliciousness wafted through my kitchen. 

I was nervous about making the crepes but I nailed the temperature and my butter gave the crepes a beautiful golden glow.

Mmmm, these crepes were a hit! Well, for me. I dined alone.  But I'm sure others would have enjoyed them too. The final presentation! Yum. Oh, the dolap on top is NOT whipped cream. It's actually Greek yogurt! I used plain but vanilla would be great too. Oh, so good.
