Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 apple, peeled and sliced
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the bread by trimming off the crusts from each slice, creating a clean rectangular shape.
- Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each bread slice, making it thin and pliable.
- Spread a thin, even layer of peanut butter across each flattened bread slice, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Peel and slice the apple into thin, uniform strips approximately 1/4 inch wide.
- Place 2-3 apple slices at one end of each peanut butter-coated bread slice.
- Carefully roll each slice tightly from the apple-end, creating a compact roll-up. Press the edges to seal.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
- Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides evenly but not soaking.
- Place the coated roll-ups seam-side down in the heated skillet, cooking until golden brown on all sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Optional: dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup.
Tips
- Choose fresh, soft bread for easier rolling and a more tender texture. White or brioche bread works best.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten the bread evenly, ensuring a tight and uniform roll-up.
- Don't overfill your roll-ups – too many apple slices can make rolling difficult and cause them to fall apart.
- Keep the heat at medium to prevent burning and ensure even browning.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned griddle to prevent sticking.
- Let the roll-ups rest for a minute after cooking to help them set and make handling easier.
- For extra indulgence, serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup.
- If you're preparing multiple batches, keep cooked roll-ups warm in a low-temperature oven while finishing the rest.
