Stay Awake

1 To make filling place apples, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a pan with 2 tablespoons water. Cover and cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes until apples are soft. Add blackberries. Cook for 5 more minutes.

2 Top each crêpe with one-eighth of the fruit mixture and fold over. Serve one crêpe per person with yoghurt and any extra filling on the side.

Variations

Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free rice flour in crêpe mix and check cinnamon and yoghurt are gluten free.
