Ingredients:

For the French Toast Roll-Ups:

10-12 slices of toast bread

4 oz cream cheese, room temperature

1/3 cup sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

2 eggs

3 tbsp milk

2 tbsp butter for cooking (more if necessary)

For the Homemade Apple Filling Option:

2 tbsp butter

3-4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced into 1/4-inch cubes

1/3 cup brown sugar

3 tbsp water

1 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp nutmeg

1 tbsp + 1 tsp cornstarch

2 tbsp water

For the Canned Apple Filling Option:

1 can apple pie filling

Instructions:

If Using Homemade Apple Filling:

Cook the Apples: In a saucepan, melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add diced apples and cook until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.

Add Flavor: Stir in brown sugar, 3 tbsp water, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Continue cooking until apples are tender and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Thicken the Filling: Mix cornstarch and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir this into the apple mixture and cook for an additional 2 minutes until thickened. Set aside to cool.

For the French Toast Roll-Ups:

Prepare the Bread: Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin to make it thinner.

Mix Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until smooth.

Assemble the Roll-Ups: Spread a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of bread. If using homemade apple filling, spoon a small amount of the apple mixture on top of the cream cheese.

Roll and Coat: Roll up each bread slice tightly, starting from one end. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and 3 tbsp milk. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s coated on all sides.

Cook the Roll-Ups: In a skillet, melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Place coated roll-ups in the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add more butter if needed.

Finish and Serve: Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute. Roll each French toast roll-up in a mixture of 1/3 cup sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon while still warm.

If Using Canned Apple Pie Filling:

Simply warm the canned apple pie filling slightly in the microwave. Use as directed in step 3.

Serving Tips:

Warm and Fresh: For the best experience, serve Apple Pie French Toast Roll-Ups warm. They are delightful on their own but can also be enhanced with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Garnishes: Consider adding a sprinkle of extra cinnamon sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness. A side of fresh fruit, like apple slices or berries, can add a refreshing contrast.

Presentation: Arrange the roll-ups on a serving plate and garnish with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an appealing presentation.

Serving Size: These roll-ups are great for brunch or a special breakfast. Serve them as a fun and indulgent treat for family gatherings or casual weekend breakfasts.

Storage Tips:

Cooling: Allow the roll-ups to cool to room temperature before storing to prevent moisture buildup.

Refrigeration: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to 3-4 days.

Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze the roll-ups. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Reheating: To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the roll-ups on a baking sheet and heat for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also reheat them in a toaster oven or microwave, but they might lose some of their crispiness.

Avoid Sogginess: If reheating from frozen, it’s best to let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating to avoid sogginess.
