Cooking Steps
- Melt 2 tbsp butter in a small microwaveable bowl or in a small pot over low heat.
- Whisk together 3/4 cup flour, 1 tbsp white sugar and 1/8 tsp salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk in 1/2 cup milk, eggs and melted butter until combined.
- Whisk in 1/2 cup water until smooth. (NOTE: The batter will be very thin.) Set aside.
- Peel, core, then cut apple into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter, then swirl the pan until melted.
- Add half the maple syrup, half the brown sugar and half the cinnamon. Season with salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is slightly thickened, 1-2 min. Immediately stir in pecans and continue to cook until mixture has thickened and pecans are coated, 1-2 min.
- Transfer candied pecans to a parchment-lined plate.
- Heat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter, then apples and remaining cinnamon. Cook, stirring frequently, until apples start to soften, 1-2 min.
- Add remaining brown sugar and cook, stirring until apples are tender, 3-4 min.
- Transfer spiced apples to another small bowl, then cover to keep warm. Carefully wipe pan clean.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange bacon strips in a single later on the prepared sheet.
- Roast bacon in the middle of the oven, rotating sheet halfway through, until crispy and cooked through, 10-12 min.**
- Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, then cover with foil to keep warm.
- Reheat the same pan (from step 2) over medium. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp butter, then swirl the pan until melted.
- Tilt the pan up on an angle, then scoop 1/3 cup batter into the lower half of the pan. Immediately move the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter until it evenly covers the bottom of the pan. Cook until crepe begins to brown and the edges start to peel off easily, 1-2 min. Flip crepe with a spatula, then continue to cook for another 30 sec-1 min.
- Transfer crepe to a plate, then repeat with 1/2 tbsp butter and 1/3 cup batter until all batter is used..
- To serve, fold each crepe into thirds, then top with candied pecans and spiced apples.
- Drizzle remaining maple syrup over top, if desired.
- Serve bacon on the side.
