These light crepes are filled with a rich mascarpone cheese and have fresh apricots and a sweet apricot glaze on top. They taste great for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 2 large eggs. 1 1/4 cups whole milk. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted. 1 cup mascarpone cheese. 1/4 cup powdered sugar. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 4 ripe apricots, sliced. 1/4 cup apricot preserves.

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. Pour a small amount of crepe batter into the skillet, swirling it around to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the crepe is lightly browned on the bottom. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate. In a bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Spread a generous spoonful of the mascarpone mixture onto each crepe. Place a few slices of apricots on top of the mascarpone mixture. Fold the crepes in half and then in half again to form triangles. In a small saucepan, heat the apricot preserves over low heat until it becomes a thin glaze. Drizzle the apricot glaze over the crepes and garnish with powdered sugar and fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve the Whipped Mascarpone and Apricot Crepes warm and enjoy!
