Apple Onion Crepes
Yes you read that right! If you have read “Farmer Boy” from the Laura Ingalls Little House series, you’ll know where we got the idea. Apparently it is an old-fashioned treat, caramelizing apples and onions together. My kids normally won’t eat onions, but they gobble this up like apple pie. This time we tried it in egg crepes as a sort of light lunch treat. We also included homemade creme fraiche (cultured cream) for probiotic benefit. Very nutrient dense, and strangely delicious!
Apple Onion Crepes:
Crepes- 6 eggs, dash sea salt
Filling-
- 1 apple, chopped finely
- 1 onion, chopped finely
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tbsp butter (preferably grass-fed raw)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup homemade creme fraiche (or sour cream or plain yogurt)
Topping – 1/2 cup creme fraiche (or sour cream or plain yogurt), 1/4 cup maple syrup
Directions:
Grease pan with butter, coconut oil, or lard. Beat eggs and salt, place 1/8 cup at a time into pan and quickly tilt pan or spread with a spoon to achieve a round shape about 6 inches or so in diameter. Cook well on each side and pile on a plate (can keep these warm in the oven). This will make about 18 crepes.
Grease pan again and saute onion until about partially opaque, add apple. Saute together until both start to caramelize together well. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup, then remove from heat. Add butter, and when cooled more, the creme fraiche. Spoon a large spoonful into each crepe and roll.
For topping, mix the creme fraiche and maple syrup until smooth. Drizzle or plop on each crepe and enjoy!
