Breakfast and Brunch

Apple Filling for Crêpes
Use this as a filling for crêpes (recipe below)
or on top of waffles or pancakes.
Makes about 2 cups (500 mL)
3 tablespoons (45 mL) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored,
and cut into ½-inch (1.25 cm) dice
1
∕ cup (75 mL) granulated sugar
3
¾ teaspoon (3.75 mL) ground cinnamon
pinch table salt
1. Put the butter in the blender jar. Set timer for 15 minutes and
temperature on Medium. Once butter has melted add
½ cup (125 mL) of the apples and ½ of the sugar. Cover and
stir, using quick bursts to mix and break down the apples.
2. Continue with remaining apples ½ cup (125 mL) at a time,
waiting and allowing some liquid to accumulate from the
cooking apples before adding the next batch. Stir between
each addition 3 to 5 times.
3. Once all apples are added (in about 10 minutes) stir using
long pulses to achieve an even consistency.
4. Once all ingredients are added and time expires, set timer for
30 minutes and temperature on Medium. Stir occasionally
while the mixture is cooking.
5. Serve warm or at room temperature.
