Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup milk
1 ½ tablespoons vinegar
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon ((if you really love cinnamon you can add another ½ teaspoon))
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
⅓ cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat (275 degrees).

  • While milk is curdling, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Whisk egg and oil into milk. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until combined (don't over-mix, it should still have some lumps).
  • Spray skillet with cooking spray. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour batter onto skillet. Cook about 2 minutes until bubbles form and the edges start to look "dry". Use a spatula to flip the pancake and cook another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Set pancakes aside and repeat with remaining batter.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Crepes Recipe ((use my recipe for Dessert Crepes))
2 pounds (900 grams) Granny Smith apples (or your favorite baking apple)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons (42 grams) unsalted butter
1/4 cup (50 grams) light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Prepare the crepe batter and cook the crepes according to this Crepe Recipe.
  • If making the crepes the day before, stack them, place them in a freezer bag and store them in the refrigerator. If making them and serving them the same day, stack them on a place and keep at room temperature.
  • Place the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground allspice and salt in a small bowl and stir to combine.
  • Peel and chop the apples into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle with the lemon juice and toss the apples to coat them.
  • Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, when it starts to bubble add the brown sugar and stir until the brown sugar-butter mixture until the sugar is thoroughly mixed in with the butter and just starts to bubble.
  • Add the apples in a single layer, turn the heat up to medium-high heat and cook the apples until half the liquid is evaporated. When the apples are cooking at the beginning, they will release a lot of liquid, so the amount of liquid in the pan will increase by a lot. Add the spice mixture and stir to mix in the spices and continue to cook the apples until most of the liquid has evaporated and a thick syrup remains
  • Occasionally stir the apples to make sure they don't burn, but for the most part let them cook undisturbed so they caramelize but are still a little firm by the time the liquid is evaporated and they have start caramelize.
  • Remove the apples from the heat and spoon them into a wide bowl. Scrape the pan to get all the syrup.
