Apple Blintzes or Jewish Crepes image

I found this recipe in a Jewish cookbook many years ago, and it has become a favorite of my family. It sounds complicated but is actually very easy and the blintzes can be frozen and used later.

Yield 16 pieces, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 eggs
1 tablespoon corn oil
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1 (16 ounce) can apple pie filling
1 mcintosh apple, peeled, cored, diced
1/2 lemon, juice of
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 -4 tablespoons butter or 2 -4 tablespoons margarine (for frying)

Steps:

  • Combine eggs and oil in bowl and beat until light and frothy. Beat in milk, then flour and salt. Beat until well blended.
  • Cover batter and refrigerate for 15 minutes, until flour absorbs and mixture thickens.
  • Place an 8-9 inch frying or omelet pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with paper towel dipped in margarine.
  • When pan is very hot, quickly pour 1/4 cup batter and swirl quickly to cover bottom.
  • When batter starts curling away from sides of pan, shake crepe onto paper towels. Repeat.
  • To freeze at this point, cool and then place between wax paper sheets. Stack and wrap bundle in foil.
  • To make blintz filling:
  • In a bowl combine apple pie filling, diced apple, lemon juice, pecans and cinnamon.
  • Place about one tablespoon filling into center of crepe. Fold top down, bottom up, and sides in to enclose filling. Then place fold side down onto platter to await frying.
  • When all blintzes are filled, heat frying pan with 2 tablespoons of melted butter or margarine and fry blintzes, a few at a time, on both sides until golden brown. Add more margarine as needed during frying. Serve hot.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my blintzes kept breaking apart when I tried to flip them.

I'm not a fan of the cottage cheese filling. I think I'll try using a different filling next time.

The blintzes were a little bland. I think I'll try adding some vanilla extract next time.
