These apple and jam French toast roll-ups make a wonderful breakfast for whenever you are craving French toast but would like to give it a twist. As their name suggests, the roll-ups contain sauteed apples and jam, making them sweet, sticky, and delicious.
To make the apple and jam French toast roll-ups, you start by sauteeing diced apples with lemon, sugar, and cinnamon. Then, you roll pieces of bread up with your favorite jam and the apples before dunking them in a milk and egg mixture and cooking them in a skillet. Finally, you roll them in cinnamon sugar before serving them.
What are Apple and Jam French Toast Roll-Ups?
These apple and jam French toast roll-ups are inspired by classic French toast which is made with full slices of bread. Normally, the bread is placed in a mixture of milk and eggs quickly before being pan-fried until golden on both sides, but this recipe is a little different in how it is assembled. Instead of simply cooking sandwich bread, the bread is rolled up with apples and jam before being coated in the egg and milk mixture and cooked to a beautiful golden brown color.
Pro Tips
- You can choose whatever type of apple you prefer but ones that hold their shape well during cooking are particularly good. These include cortland, spartan, pink lady, honeycrisp, and more.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten your bread slices, which will provide more surface area for the jam and apples.
- Feel free to use whatever jam you enjoy the most such as strawberry, raspberry, or cherry.
- When cooking the roll-ups, turn them periodically so that they become golden on all sides.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Most Common Mistake in Making French Toast?
Perhaps one of the most common mistakes when making French toast is oversoaking the bread. This can cause the bread to fall apart and make its texture quite soggy.
How Do You Keep French Toast Roll-ups Warm?
If you need to cook the roll-ups ahead of when you plan to serve them, you can keep them warm in the oven. Simply heat the oven to a low 200 F (93.3 C) temperature where they should be able to keep warm for a short while before you serve them.
Should You Let Bread Sit Out Before Making French Toast?
This is generally a good idea as drier bread will be able to absorb more of the egg and milk mixture without falling apart or becoming soggy.
How to Store Apple and Jam French Toast Roll-ups
You can store leftover French toast roll-ups in a sealed container in the fridge. Then, when you intend to serve them again, you can warm them up in the oven or an air fryer, which will re-crisp their edges.
