Ingredient Checklist

All Purpose Flour: I prefer using all-purpose flour as the base of the batter, as I find it strikes a nice balance between 'light and airy' and 'firmness,' meaning the crepes will hold together through baking and filling, but without being 'overly' firm.
Whole Milk: For added richness and flavor, I strongly suggest using whole milk. For added decadence, consider adding in a tablespoon of heavy cream.
Apple Cider: This adds a sweet and tart flavor to the crepes, nicely complementing the caramelized apples
Apples: The best apples for caramelizing are Granny Smith apples. These apples are tart and have a firm texture, which makes them ideal for caramelizing as they keep their shape and won't turn to mush. Additionally, the tartness will help balance out the sweetness of the rest of the recipe.
Butter: I strongly recommend using butter for caramelizing the apples, as opposed to any other shortening. The butter seeps into the apples, giving them a rich, buttery flavor that play beautifully with the apples themselves.
Raw Sugar: While I recommend raw sugar for this recipe, plain granulated sugar will work just fine as well.
Honey: This adds a sweet and floral flavor to the crepes. I do recommend using a decent quality raw honey for this recipe. For added flare, consider crumbling some honeycomb over the crepes.

Eight Tips for Great Whipped Cream

Whipped cream is super simple to make, but there are a few key tips worth sharing to help ensure you get the perfect batch of whipped cream every time.

Start with cold heavy cream and a chilled mixing bowl. This helps the cream whip up fluffer, rather than denser.
Use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment. The whisk ensures a more even distribution of air, meaning you have to mix less, which in turn results in fluffier cream.
Slowly increase the speed of the mixer as the cream thickens. This again cuts to more even distribution, and lessens whisking time, which - you guessed it - lessen density, increasing fluffiness.
Add a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract for flavor.
Add a tablespoon of sugar for sweetness.
Avoid over-whipping which will result in butter. The more you whip, the closer the whipped cream comes to being butter. Not fun.
Stop mixing when the cream forms soft peaks. Light, airy, and fluffy are the key traits your looking for.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to use. That said, I really wouldn't wait more than an hour or two before serving.

Six Tips for Making the Best Crepes

Use a Good Pan. Use a good quality pan, preferably one that you trust won't result in sticking. Sticking is the ultimate enemy of quality crepes - due to how thinly the batter must be spread. Any sticking risks tearing the crepe.
Grease. Grease. Grease. Even if using a non-stick pan, you want to (thoroughly) grease the pan with butter or oil before pouring in the batter. Regrease the pan every few crepes, or as needed.
Pre-Heat the Pan. Make sure the pan is hot before you pour the batter in. To test, throw a few drops of water into the pan. If they immediately sizzle away, the pan is hot enough.
Pan Work. Pour the batter into the center of the pan and quickly rotate it to spread the batter evenly throughout the bottom of the pan.
Hot and Fast. Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes until it is lightly browned on the bottom, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. The key here is "hot and fast."
Serve Immediately. Crepes don't keep well. As such, serve immediately while still hot.
