Categories dessert

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted, plus more for garnishing
2 tablespoons maple syrup
12 strips uncured, hickory-smoked bacon, roughly chopped
3 apples, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 tablespoon maple syrup
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 box vanilla cake mix (about 1 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup milk
1 large egg, plus 1 egg white
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

For the frosting: Beat together the butter, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and maple syrup in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a hand mixer) until smooth and creamy.
For the apple-bacon filling: Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until the fat renders out and the bacon becomes crispy. Scoop out the bacon and place on a paper-towel-lined plate. Add the apples to the bacon fat and cook over medium heat until the apples are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the maple syrup and cinnamon and cook until sticky and caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and set aside.
For the crepe batter: Whisk together the cake mix, milk, egg and egg white in a large bowl until smooth. Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet and spray liberally with nonstick cooking spray. Ladle about 3 ounces of batter into the pan and cook over medium heat until the bottom starts to brown and the top of the crepe begins to bubble, 1 to 2 minutes. Work around the edge of the crepe with a rubber spatula to begin to release it from the pan. Gently flip the crepe over, spraying more nonstick spray as needed. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer. Remove the crepe and place on a serving dish. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To assemble: Spread the filling generously over half of each crepe and top with a few tablespoons of bacon. Fold the tops of the crepe over and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Sprinkle additional bacon on top if desired.

MAPLE-ROASTED BACON

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

3/4 pound thick-cut smoked bacon (16 slices)
1 to 2 tablespoons good maple syrup

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place a baking rack on a sheet pan and arrange the bacon in 1 layer on the baking rack. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the bacon begins to brown. Remove the pan carefully from the oven; there will be hot grease in the pan! Brush the bacon slices with maple syrup and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, until the bacon is a warm golden brown. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and serve warm.

Tips:

For crispy bacon: Place the bacon in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until desired crispness. Drain on paper towels and allow to cool before chopping.
To make the crepe batter: Sift the flour and salt together in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, water, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.
For perfect crepes: Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to coat the bottom. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
To assemble the crepe stack: Spread 1 tablespoon of maple syrup on a crepe. Top with 2 slices of bacon and 1 tablespoon of chopped walnuts. Fold the crepe in half, then in half again to form a triangle. Repeat with the remaining crepes.
For a decadent finish: Drizzle the crepe stack with additional maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:
