Baked Apple Pie Roll-ups

This is a follow-up to the Apple Cider. Once you strain the apple cider from the crock pot, the leftover mush will provide you with apple sauce AND the filling for the Apple Pie Roll-ups (below).

Apple Sauce Directions:

Use the leftover, mushy apples after straining the cider, and place in individual or multiple containers. There might be extra liquid, drain if necessary.

Add more cinnamon and sugar as desired for taste. Place in an airtight container. Refrigerate until ready to eat.

Now, for the good stuff. This next recipe tasted like an apple filled churro. Yummmm.

Baked Apple Pie Roll-ups

Ingredients:

• 10 slices of bread (recipe called for white, I used wheat)
• 1 can of apple pie filling (I made my own, see below)
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cut the crusts off bread and roll each slice flat. Combine cinnamon and sugar on a small plate.
3. Spoon the apple pie filling onto a slice of bread and roll up. (If using the canned filling – you will need to chop apples into smaller pieces)
4. Dip each piece into melted butter and then roll in the cinnamon sugar.
5. Place seam side down and bake 15 minutes or until browned. Serve warm.

Apple Pie Filling

Honestly, I took about 1-2 cups of the leftover apple sauce and added some of the ingredients below for taste. The end result turned out just fine. It probably wasn’t as thick, nor did it have apple chunks, but it saved me from making a batch of something else.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium apples
• 3 tbsp. water
• 2 tbsp. butter
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp. + 1 tsp. cornstarch
• 2 tbsp. water

Directions:

1. Peel, core and slice apples
2. Melt butter and cinnamon over medium heat. Stir in apples, sugar & 3 tablespoons water.
3. Cover and cook stirring occasionally for 4-6 minutes or until softened.
4. In a small dish combine cornstarch and water. Add to pan while stirring and continue to cook until apples are soft (not mushy) and filling is thickened. Let bubble 1 minute. Cool.

If you need filling thicker, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water.

Happy Apple Overload!
