  1. Make the crepe batter.

  3. Whisk in the eggs and 1/3 cup of the soymilk, mixing until there are no lumps in the batter.
  4. Whisk the soymilk into the batter, 1/3 cup at a time, until the batter resembles a thick cream.
  5. Let the batter rest for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  6. Meanwhile, make the filling. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the apples, soy margarine ,brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
  7. Cook until the apples are slightly tender and the sugar has melted to a syrup, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  9. Remove mixture from heat and set aside.
  10. Heat a small to medium sauté or frying pan over medium heat.
  11. Once hot, brush a small amount of oil or dairy-free soy margarine on the surface of the pan.
  12. Using a ¼ cup scoop or small ladle, add about 3 T. of batter to the pan, rotating the pan to distribute the batter evenly over the pan.
  13. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes on the first side, or until the edges begin to brown slightly.
  14. Using a spatula or your fingers, flip the crepe and cook on the opposite side for 1 minute more.
  15. Transfer the crepe to a plate and cover loosely with a paper towel to keep warm while you make the rest of the crepes.
  16. Using a ladle, portion the apple filling equally into the crepes, spooning a bit of the sauce over top of the crepes to serve.
