Pumpkin Crepes with Maple Cream Sauce

One bite and these PUMPKIN CREPES WITH MAPLE CREAM SAUCE will become your favorite fall dessert!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year (nope, not Christmas!) – it’s fall, it’s pumpkin season and it’s apple season! All of my favorites rolled into one (as in this dessert)! I love it when the days get a bit cooler as it really puts me in the mood to make more desserts and this one really hits the spot.

Not only will you want to enjoy this entire recipe, but the spiced apples and maple cream sauce are recipes on their own. Feel free to make them for toppings on pancakes or waffles and the sauce would be awesome on bread pudding. So how’s that? A complete recipe and some other ideas for using the apples and cream sauce! Don’t you love when recipes have flexibility? I do.

Making crepes is one of my favorite go-to desserts. As I mentioned when making these Triple Berry Crepes, they are easy to do and can be whipped up in no time. They look elegant and everyone thinks I (we’ve) fussed. The actual crepes (not assembled) can be made ahead of time and will keep in the refrigerator until needed (either the day ahead or earlier in the day). Just give them a quick (10-15 sec) zap in the microwave and they are ready to go.

Sometimes I roll either some fruit or Nutella in them but other times I just fold into fourths (like these today) and then use a topping. (NOTE: If you want to jazz up the sauce a bit, add either a tablespoon of bourbon or spiced rum to the sauce when it is done. It will give it a nice flavor but for the over 21 crowd only!
