Mixing bowls
- 2 medium apples sliced thin
Crepes
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup Lifeway Organic Vanilla Whole Milk Kefir
- ½ cup whole milk
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted & cooled
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Whipped Cream
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream cold
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream

Crepes
Add the eggs, kefir, milk, melted butter, flour, sugar and salt to a blender and pulse twice for 15 seconds each.
Place the covered blender in the refrigerator for 45-60 minutes.Slice the apples and make the whipped cream and caramel sauce while the crepe batter chills. Lightly grease an 8 inch nonstick skillet with butter and heat on medium-low. Add about ¼ cup of batter to the pan and tilt it around so that the bottom is completely covered. Let it cook for 45-60 seconds, then flip it and cook the other side for another 45-60 seconds. Carefully transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat until you're out of batter.
Caramel Sauce
In a small/medium saucepan, combine the light brown sugar, butter and salt. Stir constantly over medium-low heat until it starts to simmer. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.
While stirring, add the cream and bring it back to a simmer. Let it simmer without stirring for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool while whisking every 5-10 minutes.
Whipped Cream
Pour the cream into a large bowl and whisk with a hand mixer from low to medium speed until it starts to thicken. Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar (a little bit at a time so it doesn't fly everywhere) and continue mixing from medium to high speed until it reaches stiff peaks.Refrigerate until you're ready to assemble the cake.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
