apple brandy

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic apple cider

Non-alcoholic options maintain sweetness without the cost of brandy.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and has a similar fat content.

whipped cream

🥗Healthier: coconut whipped cream

💰Cheaper: heavy cream

Coconut whipped cream is dairy-free and lighter.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

1

Melt butter in a small bowl.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.

3

Add a whole egg to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.

4

Add the melted butter and whisk well, ensuring the butter is still warm.

5

Gradually add whole milk to the mixture, mixing well each time.

6

Add a little bit of orange zest for flavor (optional).

Apply melted butter all over the surface of the pan.

Pour the batter into the pan and shake it immediately to spread it evenly.

Cook until the edges are dark golden brown, then flip the crepe using two long sticks or a spatula.

12

Cook for an additional 5 to 10 seconds, then transfer the crepe to a cooling rack.

13

Repeat the process until all crepes are cooked, making about five 10-inch crepes.

14

For the orange sauce, zest the skin of a regular orange.

15

Add orange juice (freshly squeezed or 100% pure) and lemon juice to a pan.

16

Add sugar and butter to the pan.

17

Slice the orange into 8 to 12 slices and add to the sauce.
