For the citrus cream cheese filling

- 4 tablespoon vegan butter
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- Zest of 1 lemon (or orange)
For the Apricot Orange Walnut Syrup

- 2 tablespoon dried apricots (chopped into small pieces)
- 2 tablespoon walnuts (chopped)
Make the cream cheese filling
Make the Apricot Orange Walnut Syrup
Cook the crepes
Heat a six-inch non-stick skillet (or an 8-inch skillet will do. It will make larger crepes)
Brush or spray a little oil on the bottom. Use vegan butter for crepes with a delicious, buttery flavor.
Pour ½ to ⅓rd of a cup of the crepe batter in the center and immediately lift and tilt the pan gently, turning your wrist, so the batter coats the bottom evenly. You want a thin, even layer. If you have bald spots, pour a tiny bit of batter to patch them up.
Cook until the top is completely dry and the sides appear to pull away from the pan. Flip over and cook another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter. You can stack them up in a plate once they're cooked.
Assemble the crepes
Place a crepe on a plate. Spread a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese filling in the center, then fold once into half and once again. Repeat with remaining crepes.
Drizzle with the apricot-walnut syrup and serve immediately.
