Apple Crepes with Cottage Cheese Honey Dip
Cozy apple pie flavor in an easy crepe roll up, served with a cheesecake-style cottage cheese dip for brunch or a sweet snack.
Ingredients
Crepes
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 6 tbsp whole wheat flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp cinnamon, plus more for dusting
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 large apple, diced
- butter or cooking spray, for greasing the pan
Honey Dip
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese
- honey, to taste
Instructions
- Blend the batter. Add the eggs, milk, vanilla, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Add the apple. Add the diced apple to the batter and pulse a few times until just combined, keeping small apple pieces throughout.
- Cook the crepes. Pour a small amount of batter into a greased, non-stick skillet over medium to medium-high heat, tilting the pan to spread it into a thin, even layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown, then roll up while warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Make the dip. Blend the cottage cheese and cream cheese until smooth, then sweeten with honey to taste.
- Serve. Roll up the crepes or slice into rounds, drizzle with the honey dip, and dust with a little extra cinnamon before serving.
Notes
Preheat the pan: Make sure your pan is fully preheated before the first crepe.
Don't rush the flip: Let the edges set first so the crepes hold together.
Keep the pulse short: Pulse the apple just a few times so you keep small pieces in the batter.
Go thin: If the batter seems thick, add a small splash of milk.
Roll while warm: Warm crepes roll up without cracking.
Storage: Store leftover crepes and dip in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezing: Freeze cooled crepes with parchment between each one for up to 3 months. Don't freeze the dip.
