Steps:
- Place 3/4 cup water, 2 eggs, vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon salt in blender. Add flour and blend thoroughly until smooth. Let batter stand 1 hour.
- Place hoop cheese in processor. If using cottage cheese, place in center of kitchen towel and squeeze to remove excess moisture until cheese is very dry and measures 1 1/2 cups packed; transfer to processor. Add 1 egg, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Using on/off turns, blend until mixture is almost smooth. Transfer filling to bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
- Heat heavy small skillet with 6-inch-diameter bottom over medium-high heat. Brush lightly with some melted butter. Pour 2 1/2 tablespoons batter into skillet, tilting to spread evenly. Cook until crepe is lightly browned on bottom, about 30 seconds. Turn crepe out onto paper towel and cover with another paper towel. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing skillet with more melted butter as needed.
- Place 1 crepe on work surface. Place 3 tablespoons filling just below center of cooked side of crepe. Fold bottom over filling, then fold sides in; roll to enclose filling. Transfer to foil-lined plate. Repeat with remaining filling and 7 more crepes (reserve remaining crepes for another use).
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil and any re-maining melted butter in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat until hot. Place blintzes, seam side down, in skillet. Cook until bottoms are brown and crisp, shaking pan occasionally, about 6 minutes. Turn blintzes over; cook until bottoms are brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer 2 blintzes to each of 4 plates. Top with Caramelized Apples and serve.

Steps:
- Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced apples and sauté 3 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar and sauté until apples are golden brown and just tender, about 8 minutes longer. (Can be prepared 3 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature; rewarm before using.)
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your blintzes.
- Make sure the blintz batter is thin enough to spread easily, but not so thin that it tears.
- Cook the blintzes over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides. This will help to ensure that they are cooked through.
- If you are using a nonstick skillet, you may not need to add any oil or butter. However, if you are using a regular skillet, you will need to add a little bit of oil or butter to prevent the blintzes from sticking.
- Serve the blintzes immediately, while they are still warm. You can top them with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or jam.
Conclusion:
Cheese blintzes with caramelized apples are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With a little planning, you can even make them ahead of time and reheat them when you are ready to serve.
