Equipment

  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Box grater
  • 1 ladle
  • 1 crepe pan or non-stick 8 inch pan.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons, plus more for the pan butter, melted and cooled down
  • 400 ml (about 1⅔ cups) milk, divided warmed up for 30 seconds in a microwave
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large apple, peeled and cored
  • ¼-½ teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Gradually whisk in melted, cooled butter.
    2 eggs, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar , ½ teaspoon vanilla extract , ⅛ teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons, melted and cooled down.
  • Add flour and half the warm milk; whisk until smooth and lump-free. Whisk in the remaining milk until combined. Let batter rest 10–15 minutes.
    400 ml (about 1⅔ cups) milk, divided , 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Peel and grate the apples using the coarse side of a box grater. Fold grated apples and cinnamon into the batter.
  • Heat a nonstick or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter. Pour in a ladle of batter, swirling to spread evenly. Cook 1–1½ minutes until golden, flip, and cook another minute. Stack the crepes on a plate. To keep crepes soft and pliable (not crispy at the edges), stack them on a plate and cover with another plate or foil while cooking the rest.

Notes

Use the larger (coarse) side of a box grater, because finer shreds will release too much juice. 
If you want them to be less sweet, use only 1 tablespoon sugar. 
When crepe cool down, store them in an air tight container for up to 3 days. 
You can serve them as it is, or add apple filling, Nutella, jam, honey.
