A fun sweet treat, these Baked Apple Pie Rollups are made with sweetened apples that are rolled in bread and coated in a cinnamon sugar mixture then baked!
In a medium sauce pan over medium high heat, pour in 6 Tablespoons water, 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, 1 Tablespoon maple syrup, 1 Tablespoon caramel syrup, 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 Tablespoon cornstarch. Whisk together well and then bring the sauce to a boil then turn the heat down to a simmer to let reduce, whisking occasionally.
Once the sauce has thickened, toss in 2 large Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored and diced) and let cook for another 5 minutes before removing from heat. You want them to just slightly soften but still have a slight crunch. Set aside for now.
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
To make the rollups:
Remove the crust from each of the 10 slices of sandwich bread and then roll them out with a rolling pin. Make them as flat as you can.
Scoop about 2 Tablespoons of the prepared apple pie filling onto each bread slice. Roll them up and set them aside for now.
In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 ½ Tablespoons cinnamon and ¾ teaspoon nutmeg. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
Using a pastry brush, brush ¼ cup (½ stick) salted butter, melted evenly onto each roll up and then roll them into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Make sure they are coated well.
Once all the rollups are coated, transfer them to the baking pan and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
Serve warm with favorite toppings and/or caramel syrup (optional).
Notes
You can easily double this recipe.
Try and use fresh lemon juice. Bottled lemon juice has a very fake taste and can throw off the apple flavor.
Use your favorite baking apple that is on the tart side, we like Granny Smith.
You can use wheat bread instead of white if you'd like.
