Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend eggs, flour, milk, sugar, melted butter, and rum until smooth.
- Brush a small frying pan with oil and heat it without letting it smoke.
- Add 2 tablespoons of batter to the pan and tilt to cover the bottom evenly.
- Lightly brown on one side, then cook for a few seconds on the other side.
- Slide the crepe onto a saucer and stack with waxed paper in between.
- Repeat with remaining batter to make 14 to 16 crepes.
- Crepes may be frozen for later use.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother batter, blend the ingredients in a blender or food processor. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum or replace it with vanilla extract. To ensure even cooking, keep the frying pan at a consistent medium heat and avoid overcrowding it with batter. Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the warm apple dessert crepes with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a drizzle of caramel sauce. For a complete meal, consider serving with a light salad to balance the sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the crepes ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the crepes ahead of time. Simply prepare them and stack them with waxed paper in between to prevent sticking. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for later use. Reheat gently before serving.
What can I use instead of rum?
If you prefer not to use rum, you can substitute it with vanilla extract or almond extract for added depth of flavor. Alternatively, a splash of orange juice can work well, giving a refreshing citrus note to the crepes.
