Sweet Apple Crepes with a Peanut Butter Drizzle

After cooking my last crepe recipe, the Amaretto Crepes with a Banana-Brown Butter Sauce, I knew it wouldn’t be my last crepe-adventure. I woke up on Valentine’s Day and wanted to make something a little bit different. I’m not a huge sweets person… well, let me rephrase that.. I don’t make sweets too often. I am a huge fan of warm apple-y desserts though (who isn’t).

Here, I’ve made some crepes with my new favorite baking liqueur RumChata, and stuffed them with a warm, soft apple/brown sugar/nutmeg mixture. I love the combo of apples and peanut butter, so I made a sweet peanut butter sauce to drizzle over the top. It’s a super easy mix of peanut butter and powdered sugar… mix it up and thin it out with some water, and you’ve got yourself a super-simple, delicious topping. I still have some leftover too, so I plan on using them to top some brownies or something… I tend to say I’m going to make dessert more often than I actually DO, I always grab some butter and set it out on the counter, just to end up letting the day get away from me, and adding it back to the fridge. Anyways, I’ve NOW got peanut butter brownies on my mind, so the butter is coming out!

I made these crepes for breakfast, and it was such a perfect, indulgent treat, and could easily be served as a dessert. Also, the RumChata is not a necessary addition to the crepes, you may use any type of liqueur you like, of just water, or whatever. I just like the sweet, creamy flavor it adds to the batter. YUM. If you don’t know what RumChata is, check out their website, or find it in the liqueur store and try it yourself. I’ve been using it in some of my dessert recipes recently (like my Red Velvet Cookies with RumChata Frosting).
