Ingredients

  • 2 apples
  • 4 slices of white bread
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ½ tablespoon full-fat milk
  • 2 tablespoon soft cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  • Peel, core and cut the apples into small cubes, and add them to a pan together with the water, brown sugar and half a tablespoon of cinnamon.
  • Cook on a medium heat until the water is evaporated and the apples are soft.
  • Remove the bread crust, and use a rolling pin to flatten up the bread slices.
  • Spread the cream cheese on each slice, add about two teaspoons of the cooked apples at the end of each slice, the roll them up.
  • Beat the egg lightly, add the milk and mix well.
  • Dip the rolls into the egg mixture to coat, then add the butter to a pan, and fry the egg rolls gently on all sides.
  • Mix the granulated sugar with the rest of the ground cinnamon, then coat the roll-ups with the sugar mixture.
  • Serve either hot or cold.

Notes

  • Firstly, make sure you flatten up the bread, using a rolling pin is the easiest way.
  • If you use eggs only to coat the roll-ups, you might find the taste too "eggy", so adding a bit of milk makes a huge difference in taste. It's a lot lighter, and you can't taste egg that much. I certainly like it better this way.
  • I highly recommend you use cream cheese to spread the bread slices with, the rolls get to be sealed well, and they don't open up when you fry them.
  • If you use either butter or any kind of oil, make sure you only use a small amount, especially if you have a non-stick pan.
Too much butter/oil will make the rolls heavy and rather greasy.
  • The apples can be replaced with any other fruit, pears and strawberries being my next favourite fillings.
  • Be generous with the amount of cinnamon you use, it can only make the rolls taste amazingly well.
For a savoury version, you can use either cheese, ham, sausages, bacon, and anything else that takes your fancy. And that's your breakfast taken to the very next level. Delicious, easy, and super simple.
