Apple Sauce Crepes with Honey Ricotta are perfect for school lunch or afternoon snack
I can hardly believe the school year is almost here. Like many parents, I feel excited and a little anxious as we prepare our little ones for a new year. For me this is especially poignant because my son is starting Kindergarten — it feels like he was born yesterday.
He’s a picky eater in many ways, but he loves apple sauce. I often pack a cup or pouch of organic apple sauce in his lunch box (thank you, North Coast!). He also adores honey, which inspired the honey-ricotta filling for these crepes.
These crepes are easy to fold and transport: roll them like a classic wrap for a quick at-home snack, or fold them burrito-style for a school lunch box. They travel well, taste great cold or slightly warm, and provide a satisfying, nutritious bite for hungry kids after a long day.

How to make Applesauce Crepes with Honey Ricotta
The crepe batter follows the classic French crepe method. For a detailed batter recipe, use your favorite perfect crepe instructions. This version includes a touch of cinnamon for warmth.
Crepe batter ingredients:
- Flour
- Milk (whole or 2%)
- Eggs
- Water
- Melted butter (plus extra to brush the skillet)
- Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla
Sweet filling:
- North Coast Organic Apple Sauce
- Organic ricotta
- Raw honey (plus additional for drizzling)
Folding and serving
After cooking the crepes and preparing the filling, you can assemble them two simple ways. Either roll each crepe tightly, or fold it burrito-style for easier transport.
Version 1: Roll the crepe around the filling for a neat, hand-held treat.
Version 2: Fold the crepe burrito-style—fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom—so it’s secure for lunch boxes.
If you prefer, serve them warm for breakfast or slightly chilled for a packed lunch — my toddler enjoyed them warm and wanted more.
