  • ¾ cup all-purpose or spelt flour
  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
    • Autumn Filling: Spiced Apple Compote
  • 2 apples, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • Splash of lemon juice
    • Whipped Skyr Cream
  • 1 cup Skyr or thick Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup whipped cream or coconut cream folded in (optional for extra fluffiness)
    • Toppings:

Instructions
    Make the Crêpes:
  1. 1
    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.
    2. Make the Compote:
  2. 2
    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.
    3. Whip the Skyr Cream:
  3. 3
    Mix Skyr, syrup, and vanilla. Gently fold in whipped cream if using.
    4. Assemble the Cake:
  4. 4
    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.
    5. Chill & Serve:
  5. 5
    Chill for at least 1 hour for best slicing. Slice like a cake and serve chilled or slightly room temp.
