These wholewheat vegan Cinnamon Apples French Crepes are so soft and delicious. They are so versatile you can top them or fill them with any ingredient(s) of your choice, whether sweet or savoury. I’ve filled these with a delectable spiced apple filling – scrummy!
I also have a recipe for buckwheat crepes which I’ve served up with a cheesy mushroom sauce so if you want a gluten-free version then you might like those. Also can be eaten with sweet or savoury toppings.
