directions
- Crepes:.
- Combine flour, sugar and salt in small bowl.
- Add milk, eggs and oil, stirring until smooth.
- Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
- Spray a 6-inch nonstick skillet lightly with no-stick cooking spray; heat skillet.
- Add 2 tablespoons batter, tilting skillet to make 6-inch crepe.
- Cook over moderate heat 30 to 60 seconds, or until bottom is light brown. Turn crepe over.
- Cook 30 to 45 seconds longer or until bottom is light brown. Cool on wire rack. Lightly spray skillet, if necessary. Repeat with remaining batter, spraying as needed.
- I always cover the crepes with a tea towel while cooking the others.

- Stir into apple mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes longer, or until mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat. Add walnuts and butter, stirring until butter melts.
- Heat oven to 400ºF.

- Spread about 2 tablespoons filling down center of each crepe.
- Fold opposite edges of crepe over apple mixture.
- Arrange crepes in prepared pan.

This is a mixed review. The crepes would get a 3 but the filling a 5 so the whole recipe a 4. Everyone was hungry and didn't want to wait to bake them so no baking was done. This recipe made 6 crepes and filling for 6 thick crepes. A good breakfast overall - next time I will use my own crepe recipe and bake them.
