Instructions
Make the Crêpes:
-
Whisk all crêpe ingredients in a bowl or blend until smooth. Let rest for 10–15 minutes. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat, lightly greased. Pour ¼ cup batter and swirl. Cook until golden on both sides. Set aside to cool.
Make the Compote:
-
In a small pan, combine apples, syrup, spices, and lemon juice. Cook over low heat until soft and jammy, about 10–15 minutes. Let cool.
Whip the Skyr Cream:
-
Mix Skyr, syrup, and vanilla. Gently fold in whipped cream if using.
Assemble the Cake:
-
On a cake stand or plate, layer one crêpe, a thin spread of Skyr cream, and a spoonful of compote. Repeat until all crêpes are stacked. Finish with Skyr on top and decorate with roasted pears, nuts, and fresh fall fruits.
Chill & Serve:
-
Chill for at least 1 hour for best slicing. Slice like a cake and serve chilled or slightly room temp.
