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.
