Apple Crepes
Our family has a hot breakfast a couple times a week. And by hot breakfast I mean either french toast, waffles or pancakes and all of these include eggs and usually bacon and occasionally sausage. We top ours with my favorite buttermilk syrup and fruit. And ps I am a HUUUUGE fan of Zaycon’s Bacon! You need to try it out. But anyways back to breakfast…so on the weeks where I feel like I have made the same type of breakfast over and over again I try to throw in something a little different and that is where these crepes came into play. I will have to admit that I think my family is more of a waffle type of people but crepes sure are fun!
A few months back I received a fun package from Crunch Pak that my kids went absolutely nuts over! My kids (and I) love their snack packs and how portable they are. As a family with young kids who travel a lot and are always on the go Crunch Pak’s products have become a staple in our home. But not only do they have amazing healthy snacks they also have pre-packaged apples that are great for cooking! A few months ago I created a few different recipes for them using their apples. You can check them out below! And then the new yummy recipe for apple crepes are below that!
