desserts | Besides Granny Smith apples, Ida Red and Golden Delicious apples are good choices for baking. To core an apple easily, cut the apple in half, then use a melon-baller to scoop out the seeds and the hard center.
Ingredients
3/4 cup fat-free skim milk 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 large egg(s) 2 tsp sugar 1/8 tsp table salt 1/4 cup light artificially sweetened caramel yogurt 2 small Granny Smith apple(s), peeled, cored, and cubed 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 1/2 cup apple cider 1/3 cup raisins 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg 1/4 cup apple jelly 2 Tbsp unpacked brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup 1% low-fat cottage cheese
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine milk, flour, egg, sugar and salt; whirl until smooth. Pour into a small bowl; let stand about 30 minutes.
To make the caramel cream; in a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese and yogurt. Whirl until very smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down side of bowl 2 or 3 times; pulse in the brown sugar. Refrigerate, covered, at least 30 minutes.
To make the filling, in a medium nonstick skillet, toss apples with lemon juice. Stir in the cider, raisins, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are just tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in jelly; cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
Lightly spray an 8-inch nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat. Pour the batter, a scant 2 tablespoons at a time, into the skillet, tilting to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook until the underside is set, about 30 seconds. Flip and cook the other side until lightly browned, about 15 seconds. Slide the crępe onto wax paper. Repeat with remaining batter, making 8 crępes, stacking the crępes between sheets of wax paper.
To serve, transfer the crępes to plates. Spread a scant 1/4 cup of the filling over one-half of each crępe; fold into half moons. Spoon the caramel cream over the crępes.
