WHOLE WHEAT CRESPELLE WITH APPLE-CINNAMON FILLING

That definitely sounds like Italian? isn't it? I was actually hunting for an authentic Italian breakfast recipes and I bumped into this recipe . Now it has become one of our most sought after breakfast. Well.. Crespelle is just the Italian name (or should I say 'fancy name') for pancakes. I loved the recipe as it had whole wheat flour instead of plain flour. The filling is just apple, sugar and ground cinnamon cooked together. I once tried it with pear also and it was a bit tart as it was supposed to be but it was still a hit.
