Crêpe à la Pomme

Overview

Difficulty: Hard

Servings: 1-2

Preparation Time: 10 mins

Cooking Time: 25 mins

1. For the crepes:

• Place the flour and salt in the Bosch MCM 4 Food Processor and add the eggs, butter and half of the milk.
• Whizz until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides once or twice to dislodge any stray pockets of flour.
• This will ensure a very smooth batter.
• With the motor running, mix in the remaining milk.
• Cook the crepes on a lightly buttered frying pan, stirring the batter occasionally.

2. For the apple filling:

• Core and peel the apples (you may leave the skin on to keep the vitamins).
• Cut the apple into dices. Alternatively, the apples can be roughly chopped with the food processor.
• Heat the butter in the large frying pan until sizzling.
• Toss in the apple cubes and sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and slightly softened.
• Add Malibu rum, stirring to deglaze, and cook until all the liquid has evaporated. Set aside to cool.

3. For the streusel topping:

• Sift the flour with cinnamon into the Bosch food processor bowl.
• Put on the rough grater attachment and insert the block of frozen butter to form the streusel topping. The topping should resemble breadcrumbs.
• Stir in the sugar and crushed biscuits.

4. To assemble:

• Preheat oven to 170°C.
• Place the apple filling on a greased baking dish and spoon the streusel topping on top of the apple filling.
• Bake until the topping is crisp and golden.
• Place the remaining half of apple topping inside the crepe and transfer the apple filling on top of the crepe.
• Top with ice cream and fresh berries to serve.
