Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 large eggs
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
Zest of 1 orange
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Zest of 1 orange, plus additional for garnish
8 large eggs, separated
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • For the crepes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the eggs, butter, heavy cream, sugar, orange liqueur and orange zest in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in both flours until incorporated and a pourable batter forms. Let the batter rest at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Heat a 9-inch nonstick crepe pan over medium heat, then add a thin layer of batter (about 1 cup). Spread around the pan to cover. Cook until the top is dry and edges begin to curl up, about 1 minute. Flip and cook another minute. Repeat to make additional crepes using all the batter. Set aside.
  • For the souffle batter: Combine the heavy cream, butter, orange liqueur, flour, brown sugar and orange zest in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes, then remove from the heat. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk the egg yolks into the warm mixture in a steady stream. Set aside.
  • Place the egg whites in a stand mixer and beat to soft peaks using the whisk attachment. Fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites.
  • Place a crepe on a parchment paper-lined rimmed sheet tray. Spoon a 4-ounce ladle of souffle batter in the middle. Fold in half, like a taco. Repeat with the remaining crepes and souffle batter. Bake until the souffle filling puffs up a little, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle with orange zest.

Spiced Soufflé Crepe With Sautéed Apples image

Tart apples are particularly abundant this time of year. Portnoy used Granny Smith apples, but you can try this recipe with Empire, Macoun, Honeycrisp, Winesap or Pippin.

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 sprigs thyme
4 tart apples, peeled, cored and quartered
3/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons, sugar
1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise, seeds scraped out, pod and seeds reserved
5 tablespoons melted butter
7 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 cup, plus 1 tablespoon, cake flour
Salt
2 cups whole milk, at room temperature
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Vanilla ice cream or creme
fraîche (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 12-inch iron skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with the thyme sprigs over medium-high heat. Add the apples and brown on all sides until just tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the sugar and cook, gently stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the apples caramelize, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove the thyme and set the apples aside. Wipe the skillet clean.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pod and seeds with the melted butter, egg yolks, 1/2 cup of the sugar, cinnamon, allspice, cake flour and a pinch of salt. Whisk in the milk until combined.
  • Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt, gradually adding the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Whip to soft peaks, and then fold into the batter.
  • Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in the clean skillet over medium-high heat, swirling the butter up the sides of the pan. When the butter is foamy, spread the sauteed apples in the pan, then pour in the batter. Transfer to the oven and bake uncovered until the center of crepe no longer wobbles when shaken, 20 to 25 minutes. Sift confectioners' sugar on top, and if you like, serve with vanilla ice cream or creme fraiche.

APPLE CARAMEL CALVADOS CREPES



Apple Caramel Calvados Crepes image

There is no doubt that this recipe is an undertaking, what with cooking the apples, making the crepes and some Calvados-flavored sauce. But if you want, you could do away with the sauce and crepes, and serve the buttery, almost caramelized apples over good vanilla ice cream. And even though you need to rustle up the three components, it is an easy choice when you have guests over, as everything can be made in advance. The apples and sauce can be reheated at the last minute and their warmth heats up the thin, pliable crepes.

Provided by Nigella Lawson

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup flour
1 1/3 cups milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, more for frying
2 teaspoons Calvados or Apple Jack
4 Gala apples
Juice of half a lemon
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup light or dark corn syrup
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons Calvados or Apple Jack

Steps:

  • In a blender or food processor, combine flour, milk and egg. Process just until blended. Pour into a pitcher and stir in 2 tablespoons melted butter and the Calvados.
  • Place a crepe pan or small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with butter. Allow pan to heat for about a minute; if it is not hot enough batter will not spread thinly. Ladle a scant 1/4-cup batter into pan and quickly swirl so batter forms a thin pancake. Return pan to heat and watch for tiny bubbles to form on surface and edges of pancake. Flip pancake; it should be light golden brown. Allow to cook about 30 seconds longer, then transfer to a plate lined with parchment paper. Continue making pancakes, layering each one with parchment. Crepes may be covered and stored at room temperature for up to a day.
  • Peel, core and cut each apple in two. Cut the two pieces into four wedges, and cut each wedge crosswise. Place in a saucepan and add lemon juice, butter and sugar. Place over medium heat and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Cover and continue to cook and stir for another 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  • In a small saucepan combine the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes, then add cream and Calvados. Continue to simmer until thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • To assemble, place a room-temperature crepe on a plate. Spoon warm apple filling into center, and fold edges over it. Drizzle warm sauce on top. Repeat with remaining crepes, and serve.

Tips:

  • To make sure your crêpe soufflés rise properly, make sure your eggs are at room temperature and that you whisk them vigorously until they are light and fluffy.
  • When cooking the crêpes, be careful not to overcook them, as they will become tough. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, until they are golden brown and slightly puffed.
  • For the filling, make sure to use ripe quinces. If you can't find fresh quinces, you can use canned or frozen quinces instead.
  • To make the Calvados sauce, use a good quality Calvados. The older the Calvados, the better the flavor will be.
  • When serving the crêpe soufflés, dust them with powdered sugar and serve them with the Calvados sauce.

Conclusion:

These quince Calvados crêpe soufflés are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a delicate flavor of quince and Calvados. The crêpes are easy to make, and the filling can be made ahead of time, making them a great option for busy cooks.
