Instructions
1
Prepare the Crepes: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. The batter should be thin and pourable.
2
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a thin layer of batter onto the pan, swirling it to cover the bottom evenly. Cook each crepe for about 1-2 minutes on each side until just set but not browned.
3
If the batter is too thick, add additional milk to achieve the desired consistency. Repeat the process until all batter is used, stacking the crepes on a plate.
4
Prepare the Apple Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Allow the mixture to sit for 15 minutes or until a caramel syrup forms.
5
Over medium heat, cook the apple mixture in a pan until the apples are tender and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
6
Assemble the Crepes: Spoon the apple filling into the center of each crepe and fold the sides over to enclose the filling.
7
Make the Cream Cheese Drizzle: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream until creamy and smooth.
8
Drizzle the cream cheese mixture over the filled crepes before serving.
