Steps:
- Prepare the crepe batter and cook the crepes according to this Crepe Recipe.
- If making the crepes the day before, stack them, place them in a freezer bag and store them in the refrigerator. If making them and serving them the same day, stack them on a place and keep at room temperature.
- Place the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground allspice and salt in a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Peel and chop the apples into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle with the lemon juice and toss the apples to coat them.
- Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, when it starts to bubble add the brown sugar and stir until the brown sugar-butter mixture until the sugar is thoroughly mixed in with the butter and just starts to bubble.
- Add the apples in a single layer, turn the heat up to medium-high heat and cook the apples until half the liquid is evaporated. When the apples are cooking at the beginning, they will release a lot of liquid, so the amount of liquid in the pan will increase by a lot. Add the spice mixture and stir to mix in the spices and continue to cook the apples until most of the liquid has evaporated and a thick syrup remains
- Occasionally stir the apples to make sure they don't burn, but for the most part let them cook undisturbed so they caramelize but are still a little firm by the time the liquid is evaporated and they have start caramelize.
- Remove the apples from the heat and spoon them into a wide bowl. Scrape the pan to get all the syrup.

APPLE FILLED CREPES
Here is a recipe that can be served as desert or can be served as breakfast for a lazy Sunday morning. There is nothing like the aroma of apples cooked with a hint of cinnamon and a little nutmeg. Use Granny Smith apples for a tart filling or MacIntosh or Cortland for a not-so-tart treat. You can have it plain or you add cranberries (or use dried cranberries plumped up in warm water for 20 minutes). Dust with a little icing sugar and serve with a drizzle of real maple syrup for a tasty treat!

Tips:
- To make the apple filling, use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- If you don't have any apple cider, you can substitute it with apple juice.
- Be sure to cook the apple filling until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
- When making the crepe batter, be sure to whisk the ingredients together until smooth. Lumps in the batter will make for unevenly cooked crepes.
- Cook the crepes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the crepes will brown too quickly and may burn. If the heat is too low, the crepes will take too long to cook and may not be cooked through.
- Serve the crepes immediately with your favorite fillings. Some popular options include the apple filling, whipped cream, and powdered sugar.
