These Crêpes with Spiced Maple Apple Sauce are a luscious fall dessert. Apples quickly sautéed with butter, maple syrup, and warming spices scream “autumn!” And there is also a little boozy twist, too.

Hello folks – how are you doing? I hope this fall has been treating you well so far…but oh wait, how is that October already?!

I hope you are enjoying all the seasonal produce. And today I have for you something perfectly seasonal and delicious.

Anyone fancies some crêpes?

Crêpes with Spiced Maple Apple Sauce

This recipe is quite easy to make. First, you will need to make some Crêpes (Basic French Crêpes) or using any other your favourite recipe.

For the sautéed apples, you will need to cook apples in a combination of butter, maple syrup, and warming spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger. If you do not have or do not like maple syrup, you can use honey or even brown sugar instead. At the end, add some dark spiced rum, if desired. While this is an optional step, rum would nicely tone down the sweetness.

As always, there are many options to adjust this idea to your preferences. For example, you can swap apples for pairs as well as play with your favourite spices. You can also add some raisins or maybe even chopped nuts like walnuts to the sauce. If using nuts, I would recommend adding them at the end, so they won’t get too soggy.

• 1/4 cup (80 ml.) maple syrup

• 1 tsp. cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp. cardamom and ginger, each

• 3-4 tbsp. (45-60 ml.) black spiced rum (optional)

• ice cream, whipped cream or frozen whipped cream, optional, for serving

Directions

• Make crepes as per from this recipe Crêpes (Basic French Crêpes); you will need to make 1/2 of batter as this sauce will be enough for ~8-10 crepes. You can make the entire batch and use leftover crepes for other recipes or double the amount of apple sauce.
