Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Gradually add to the egg mixture, alternating with the room temperature water. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
3
Heat an 8-inch frying pan or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with margarine.

To make the apple filling, in a medium saucepan, combine the sliced apples, 3/4 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
