For each crepe, pour in just enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan, tipping and tilting pan to move batter quickly over bottom. If crepe has holes, add a drop or two of batter to patch. Cook until light brown on bottom and dry on top. Remove from pan and stack on plate. Makes 12 crepes. Fill crepes with coolwhip and fruit. Pudding or whatever sounds good. Yummy!

You can just dip your bananas and apples in Sprite or 7-Up before arranging on the plate. The citric acid in the pop will take care of the browning, and the mild lemon lime flavor isn't noticeable. No more puckering when eating an apple!
