For the crepes
125g plain flour
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp caster sugar
2 eggs, beaten
25g melted butter, plus extra for cooking
250ml semi-skimmed milk
3 tbsp cold water
For the filling
1 large Bramley apple
2 eating apples
Juice of 1 large orange
4 tbsp blueberry conserve
1 medium egg, beaten
2 tbsp ground almonds
Icing sugar, to dust
For the crepes
Put the plain flour, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl, make a well in the centre and add the eggs. Start stirring with a balloon whisk, then slowly whisk in the melted butter, milk and water. Increase your whisking speed until you have a thin batter about the consistency of single cream.
Next, heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, drizzle in a teaspoon of melted butter and wipe it over the base with kitchen paper.
Drop a small ladleful of pancake batter into the pan, swirling so it coats the base evenly in a thin layer. Cook for 2 minutes or until the underside is golden, then flip and cook on the other side for a minute or so. Remove to a warm plate and repeat until you have made 6 large crepes.
For the filling
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C/Gas Mark 6.
Peel and core the apples and cut into rough dice. Put them in a small saucepan with the orange juice and half the blueberry conserve. Simmer over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until the apple is soft. Stir in the remaining conserve and leave to cool.
Spoon a little of the cooked and cooled apple mixture across the centre of each crepe. Roll up into large 'cigar' shapes.
Put the filled crepes on a baking tray lined with baking paper and brush all over with beaten egg. Sprinkle with the ground almonds and dust with icing sugar.
Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the crepes are golden and crisp.
Serve with custard, ice cream or Greek yoghurt.
