Caramel Apple Crepe

I was approached by a coworker to make allergy friendly crepes for their annual volunteer appreciation breakfast. They wanted something that was especially special, gluten free and dairy free. I suggested a caramel apple crepe, because generally you can’t find a diary free caramel anywhere, so this would be a real treat for those who haven’t had caramel in a long time. The crepe itself was easy, a traditional French Chantily crepe is made with cornstarch, which is naturally gluten free. The filling was also easy. I took apples, spices and a little starch and basically went with an apple pie filling. The caramel was a bit more challenging, but over a few practice batches I was able to succeed. The photo above has whipped cream, which I didn’t put on all of them, but it was requested by the people who could have dairy.
