Apple – Camembert & Cumin Crêpe – Crêpe aux pommes , camembert & cumin





Apple & cheese are made for each other . LOL   This is a dessert that certainly impress your guests .  A delectable sweet & savoury dessert with an unusual  hint of cumin , an amazing  combination of flavours .  An easy recipe  with  apple cider crêpe & layer of caramelized apples with sliced camembert . I've made the crêpes quite thin so that I can fold & shape them easily into the ramekin .  So do keep that in mind when making this crêpe .  Bon Appetit
