Chef's Note

For the best texture, make sure your pan is properly heated before pouring the batter. The first crepe is often a 'test crepe' that helps you gauge temperature. If you prefer thinner crepes, you can add 1-2 additional tablespoons of water to the batter.

Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup buckwheat flour

  • 3 large egg whites

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • 1 whole apple (medium, preferably Honeycrisp or Gala)

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 1 teaspoon grass-fed butter

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (0% fat)

  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions
  • 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup buckwheat flour and 1/8 teaspoon salt.

  • 2

    In a separate bowl, whisk 3 large egg whites until slightly frothy, then add 1/4 cup almond milk, 2 tablespoons water, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.

  • 3

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter with no lumps. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

  • 4

    While the batter rests, core and thinly slice 1 apple into 1/4-inch pieces.

  • 5

    Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 teaspoon grass-fed butter.

  • 6

    Add the sliced apples to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften and caramelize, stirring occasionally.

  • 7

    Add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon honey to the apples. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the apples are soft and golden. Transfer to a small bowl and cover to keep warm.

  • 8

    Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel and return to medium heat.

  • 9

    Pour about 3 tablespoons of crepe batter into the center of the pan, then immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.

  • 10

    Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Carefully flip and cook for another 30-45 seconds.

  • 11

    Repeat with the remaining batter to make 3-4 thin crepes, stacking them on a plate as you go.

  • 12

    Mix 1/4 cup Greek yogurt with 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest in a small bowl.

  • 13

    To serve, place the crepes on a plate, fill with the caramelized apple compote, and top with the lemon-scented Greek yogurt.
