Caramel Apple Pie Roll-Ups 🍏🍯


3. Assemble the Roll-Ups

  1. Spoon a small amount of the cooled apple filling onto one end of each pastry strip, leaving a little space at the edge.
  2. Gently roll up the pastry from the filled end, sealing the edges by brushing a bit of egg wash on the opposite end.
  3. Place the roll-ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Bake the Roll-Ups

  1. Brush the tops of the roll-ups with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar for added sparkle (optional).
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

5. Drizzle with Caramel

  1. Once the roll-ups are baked, let them cool slightly.
  2. Drizzle warm caramel sauce generously over the tops of the roll-ups.
  3. Optional: Sprinkle with chopped nuts, sea salt flakes, or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra flair.

6. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve the roll-ups warm for the ultimate gooey caramel experience.
  2. Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Serving Suggestions

  • With Ice Cream: Serve warm roll-ups alongside a scoop of vanilla or caramel ice cream for a decadent dessert.
  • Add Chocolate: Drizzle melted chocolate over the caramel for a sweet twist.
  • Make It Salty-Sweet: Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the caramel for a delightful contrast.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Use Small Apple Pieces: Dice the apples finely so they cook quickly and fit easily inside the pastry.
  • Prevent Leaking: Don’t overfill the pastry strips to avoid the filling leaking out during baking.
  • Store Leftovers: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the roll-ups ahead of time, freeze them on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
