This is a very easy, quick and delicious brunch item.  When they taste the nutty apple pie filling tucked inside the creamy vanilla sauce draped over the tender crepes, everyone “oohs” and “aahs” between bites.  Prepare a big batch-people tends to go back for seconds and even thirds!

Apple Pecan Crepes

1 can (21 oz.) apple pie filling

½ cup coarsely chopped pecans

12 prepared crepes (7 inches each)
