Why this recipe works
Thin buckwheat batter with warm apple filling
The batter rests briefly while the apple filling is prepared. A non-stick skillet produces thin crêpes that are cooked through completely. Separately cooked apple cubes make filling straightforward. The recipe makes two generous breakfast servings.

1
Mix and rest the batter

Cook the apple filling
Meanwhile, dice apples small. Melt butter in a skillet, add apples and sugar and cook over medium heat for about 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender. Stir in lemon juice and remove from the heat.

3
Cook the crêpes
Warm a non-stick skillet about 24 cm across over medium heat. Brush lightly with some of the oil. Stir batter again and cook about 6 thin crêpes: spread a small ladleful by tilting, cook for about 2 minutes, turn carefully and cook the other side for about 1 minute. Let batter set completely and use remaining oil between crêpes as needed.

4
Fill and serve
Divide apple filling over the crêpes and fold them over. Serve warm immediately. The cooked batter should be fully set and apples tender.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ about Apple buckwheat crêpes
The flour absorbs liquid during the short rest. This makes the batter more even and easier to spread in the skillet.
No. Apples are cooked separately until tender and then used to fill finished crêpes. Thin crêpes and soft filling remain distinct.
Stir batter again, heat the skillet evenly and wait a little longer before turning. Stir in a little water if the batter is too thick.
The quantity is calculated for two breakfast servings. Smaller portions can be served as dessert; extra toppings are not included in the nutritional values.
