Sponsored Post: We’ve partnered with North Coast Organics, makers of delicious apple products, to bring you fun recipes ideas for the coming season. Their apple sauces, vinegars, juices and ciders are made with only U.S. grown apples. You’re sure to taste the difference!
These Apple Sauce Crepes with Honey Ricotta are made with cinnamon crepes, North Coast Organic Apple Sauce, organic ricotta and raw honey. These crepes are super delicious and healthy at the same time. A perfect option for a school lunch or even an afternoon snack.
I know it sounds surreal but the school year is approaching…. fast! I know many of you can relate to this sensation of excitement and nervousness at the same time as we prepare our little people for a new academic year. For me it’s particularly profound as one of my sons is reading for Kindergarten. Frankly, I have no idea how this has happened. I feel like he was just born the other day…
Anyhow, while he’s a very fussy eater, he does like apple sauce a lot. So I typically throw a cup or a pouch of super healthy, organic apple sauce onto his daily menu (thank you North Coast for all the supplies!).
My son also really likes honey – hence this idea of honey ricotta with organic apple sauce as the sweet filling for my crepes.
When you make these apple sauce crepes, you can fold them up like a burrito and then send with your kids to school for a healthy and delicious lunch. Or you could also just roll them up and serve them when your little student returns from the trenches at school, exhausted and hungry. These crepes for sure will give them the fuel to survive the post-school day.

Once your crepes are all fried up and you’ve added apple sauce and honey ricotta to them, you can either simply roll them up (version 1, above) or fold them like a burrito (version 2, above). Folding them like a burrito will probably work best for lunch boxes and rolling could be a good option for a pre-made stay at home lunch, or afternoon snack.
