Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
- 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the Roll-Ups
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter for frying (about 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Prepare the Apple Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the peeled and diced apple with sugar and cinnamon. Mix until the apples are evenly coated and set aside.
- Roll Out the Bread: Using a rolling pin, flatten each bread slice gently to remove the crusts and make the slices thin for easier rolling.
- Fill and Roll the Bread: Place a spoonful of the apple mixture on one end of each bread slice. Roll the bread tightly around the filling to form a roll-up.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Dip the Roll-Ups: Dip each bread roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring the entire surface is coated.
- Heat the Skillet: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat until hot and bubbling.
- Cook the Roll-Ups: Place the coated roll-ups in the skillet and fry them, turning frequently, until each side is golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per roll-up.
- Serve: Serve the roll-ups warm, drizzled with syrup or dusted with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for easier rolling without tearing.
- You can substitute brown sugar for regular sugar for a richer flavor.
- For a dairy-free option, use non-dairy milk and a plant-based butter substitute.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg to the apple mixture for extra warmth.
- Serve with maple syrup, honey, or powdered sugar as toppings.
