When I saw Claire Saffitz from Bon Appetit make Crepes Suzette last week, the craving for syrupy crepes got me. Since I didn’t have any oranges, I thought I would try it with apples. Not to be funny, but this might be even better than Crepes Suzette. Apples and caramel is a classic combination and paired with the lacy crepes, they make the most indulgent yet easy dessert.

Can I make apple crepes ahead?
The crepes can be made up to 3 days ahead and kept covered in the fridge. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. The sauce can be made up to 2 hours in advance and the crepes can be caramelized just before serving.
Tips for making the best crepes
Use a nonstick pan. If you don’t have a nonstick pan, spray the pan with cooking spray and use kitchen towel to wipe a little oil into the pan to avoid sticking. Swirl the batter into the pan with a ladle while you turn the pan with your other hand to create a thin coating. Allow the crepe to turn completely matte then carefully flip with a spatula and cook for 30 seconds – 1 minute on the other side.
