Apple Pie Crepes

Crepes are a lighter, often healthier alternative to their "heavier" pancake cousins. Plus--an added "bonus" is that they typically have a delicious filling, included---as opposed to sugary syrup and fat-laden butter. 

Here, we add a little bit of our favorite protein powder (Shakeology, of course) and fresh fruit for a simple, healthy breakfast. But--no one says you HAVE to save them for morning…why not try them for ANY meal of the day? Either way, I hope you enjoy them…..

Apple Pie Crepes

CREPES:
1/4 c. Old fashioned Oats
1/2 c. Egg whites (about 4 whites)
2 Tbs. Vanilla Shakeology (or additional oats)
2 Tbs. Unsweetened applesauce
2 Tbs. Almond or low fat milk
1 Tbs Stevia or sugar in the raw
pinch salt
1/2 tsp. Baking powder
1/2 tsp. Apple pie spice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

FILLING:
1 Medium apple, peeled and sliced
 1/2 tsp. Apple pie spice
1 Tbs of Stevia, Sugar or sweetener of your choice
pinch salt

*dollop of light sour cream or plain yogurt and a drizzle of honey, as toppings, if desired.

Instructions
  1. Place all crepe ingredients in a blender and blend until the mixture is smooth, like a thin pancake batter. Spray a large, nonstick griddle or pan with cooking spray, and turn the heat to medium. pour a thin latter of batter into the pan, so that it covers the entire pan….about 1/2 the batter. When the crepe begins to form bubbles on the surface, it is ready to flip! Cook until golden brown on each side. Repeat with second half of better and turn off heat. Place each crepe on a plate.
  2. Next, place all of the filling ingredients in a small bow, and microwave for 3-4 minutes, or until soft and tender. Fill each crepe with 1/2 of the filling, roll up, and enjoy with a dollop of yogurt, cinnamon and honey!
YUMMY!!!!
