CARAMELIZED APPLE CRÊPES WITH BLUE CHEESE
AND TOASTED WALNUTS
The flavors in these crêpes work wonderfully together.
1recipe Sweet Crêpe Batter
9 ounces (280 g) Granny Smith apples or pears (about 2 each)
1
1
2 tablespoon (25 ml) granulated sugar
1tablespoon (15 ml) unsalted butter
4 ounces (125 g) Saga or Cambozola, thinly sliced
2 ounces (50 g) toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped
Assemble raclette, griddle side up. Turn to high and preheat for 10 minutes.
Pour
1
8 cup (30 ml) of crêpe batter onto the griddle top and spread the
batter out thinly and evenly with the raclette spatula, creating an oval/round
shape. Cook the crêpe up to a minute on the first side, until the edges start
to brown, and then flip with a nonstick spatula and finish the other side in
1 minute. Continue cooking crêpes until the batter is gone. Stack finished
crêpes on top of each other on a plate and wrap loosely with plastic.
Reduce heat to medium. Allow 5 minutes for temperature to reduce.
Peel and core the apples slice into thin wedges. Toss apple slices with the
sugar in a mixing bowl. Place the butter on the griddle and let it melt.
Pour the apples onto the griddle and stir so that each individual slice is
touching the griddle. Cook for at least 10 minutes, stirring the apples as
they cook. After 10 minutes the apples should be soft with a hint of
caramel colour. After 15 minutes the caramel is more intense; cook
according to your taste. Remove the apples and reserve.
In the individual raclette dish place a crêpe and top with a few slices of
the caramelized apples and a slice of the cheese; fold the crêpe like an
envelope and top with an additional slice of cheese. Place under the grill
and cook for about 3
1
2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Turn out onto plate with raclette spatula and sprinkle with the toasted
walnuts to serve.
