Jump to Recipe

There’s something magical about the quiet moments of a morning, where the world feels still, and the day is full of possibilities. The aroma of fresh coffee brewing, the gentle sizzle from the stovetop, and the anticipation of something delicious create a comforting symphony of sensory delights.

Mornings offer a chance to slow down and appreciate the simple pleasures. Whether it’s the joy of creating something homemade, the satisfaction of a well-set table, or the cozy warmth of the kitchen, these small moments are what make mornings special. It’s about savoring each bite, enjoying the process, and starting the day with a sense of calm and fulfillment.

But the joy of simple, homemade delights doesn’t have to end with breakfast. Snack time provides another opportunity to pause and enjoy a moment of culinary bliss. Whether it’s a mid-morning treat or an afternoon pick-me-up, snacks can be a delightful break in the day. Think of a freshly baked pastry, a bowl of seasonal fruit, or a handful of nuts paired with your favorite drink.

With the hustle and bustle of the world around us, taking the time to enjoy a good breakfast and/or a mindful snack can feel like a luxury, but it’s one worth indulging. These moments offer a time to connect with loved ones, share stories, and take a break. They are also moments for self-care, to nourish your body and mind before diving back into your daily tasks.

So, as you sip your morning coffee and enjoy your breakfast, and later take a moment for a snack, remember to breathe, savor, and appreciate these small rituals. It’s these little pauses that bring a sense of peace and joy to our daily lives, reminding us to find happiness in the simplest of things - like a french toast roll-up.

This Rolled Apple and Cinnamon French Toast is a delightful twist on classic French toast, featuring apple-filled, buttered bread slices rolled up and fried to golden perfection. Each roll is dipped in a sweet cinnamon sugar mixture, creating a crispy, flavorful coating. Serve with a creamy vanilla crème fraîche dip for a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors.

Ingredients

• 2 apples
• 10 slices of toast
• ½ tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 60 g brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 50 ml milk
• 100 g butter
• 100 g crème fraîche
• ¼ tsp vanilla (I used vanilla bean paste)
• Ground cinnamon (for serving, optional)

Instructions

Prepare the apple filling:

1. Peel and dice the apples.
2. In a pan, cook the apples with 1 tsp of lemon juice for 5 minutes under tender. If the apples are on the sour side, add 1 tbsp of brown sugar instead of lemon juice.

Prepare the bread:

1. If using sandwich bread with crusts, cut off the crusts.
2. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread.

Assemble the rolls:

1. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of the bread.
2. Place half a tablespoon of the apple filling on the buttered side and roll it up tightly.

Prepare the egg mixture and cinnamon sugar:

1. In a bowl, combine the eggs and milk.
2. In another bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.

Cook the rolls:

1. Dip each rolled toast into the egg and milk mixture.
2. In a pan over medium heat, melt the remaining butter.
3. Fry the rolled toasts on all sides until golden brown.
4. After frying, immediately dip the rolled toasts into the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Prepare the Crème Fraîche Dip:

1. In a small bowl, combine the crème fraîche and vanilla bean paste.
2. Serve the rolled French toast warm with the crème fraîche dip on the side.
3. Optionally, sprinkle with additional ground cinnamon before serving.

Notes

Apple filling: Adjust the sweetness of the apple filling according to your taste. If the apples are too tart, add a bit more brown sugar.

Cooking: Ensure the pan is not too hot to prevent the butter from burning. Fry the rolls on medium heat to achieve an even golden brown color.

Serving: These rolls are best served immediately while they are warm and crispy.

Variations: Experiment with different fillings like pear, berries, or even a mix of fruits for a different flavor profile.
