Apple, Leek, and Goat Cheese Crepes

Grandma Adrian is well known for her applesauce crepe recipes, known to her grandchildren as something that can only be pronounced as "fawn-ah-coug-an".  Note : I have absolutely no idea how to spell this so if anyone wants to inform me that would be great - I am pretty sure its german.  This recipe is loosely based off her recipe, as well as one of my favorite appetizers from my mom and aunt's catering company, La Petite Pierre, Apple Leek and Brie tarts.

To make Filling:

  • 5 apples
  • 1 leek
  • 5 sage leaves
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
Instructions:

Peel apples and slice them nice and thin.


 
Add the butter to a pan over medium high heat and add the apples.
While these are cooking slice the leek and add this to the pan with the sage.  Cook everything until its nice and tender, and don't forget to season with salt and pepper!


 
You can set this aside while you make your crepes.

To make crepes:
  • 1/2 cup flour (whole wheat works pretty well if you want to be healthy)
  • 3/4 cup milk (you can use soy)
  • 1 egg
Whisk all these together and you have your crepe dough.  

Heat your pan over medium low heat.  Make sure you spray some pam so the crepe won't stick, and then ladle a spoonful of the dough into the pan.  There should be just a thin layer covering the bottom... like this.



When its ready just flip and put filling in and add goats cheese.



Wrap it up in a tight little package. 



This recipe makes about 5 crepes depending on how big your pan is.  If you have a sweet tooth you can always fill them with Nutella instead.  Yum!
