Print Recipe

Light and fluffy yogurt-based crepes filled with warm, spiced apples. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Peel, core, and dice your apple into small, even pieces (about 1/4-inch dice).
  2. In a small bowl, toss the diced apple with the ground cinnamon and brown sugar until well coated.
  3. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter. Once melted and shimmering, add the apple mixture.
  4. Cook the apples, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly softened.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat and set the apple mixture aside.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  8. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter. A few lumps are okay.
  9. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour, at room temperature.
  10. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
  11. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each crepe. Immediately lift and tilt the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.
  12. Sprinkle a generous spoonful of the cooked apple mixture over the crepe while it’s still wet. Distribute the apples evenly over the surface of the crepe.
  13. Cook the crepe for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the edges start to lift slightly.
  14. Carefully flip the crepe with a thin spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown.
  15. If you’re making a large batch of crepes, you can keep them warm in a preheated oven (200°F) until ready to serve. Place the cooked crepes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  16. Repeat steps 2-6 with the remaining batter and apple mixture, greasing the pan as needed.
  17. Serve the crepes immediately while they’re still warm and fluffy.
  18. Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with powdered sugar, top with whipped cream, add extra diced apples, or sprinkle with chopped nuts.
  19. Enjoy!
