Ingredients

For the french toast roll-ups

• 10 slices of white bread (on request gluten-free *)
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 cup vegan butter

For the apple and cinnamon filling

• 3 small apples
• 100 ml of water
• 1 tbsp brown sugar *
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• a pinch of vanilla
• a splash of lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

For the apple and cinnamon filling:

• Peel apples, core them and cut into small cubes.
• In a pot of water, cornstarch, brown sugar, cinnamon, a little vanilla and lemon mix and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, so that it thickens.
• Add the apples, mix well and set aside.

For the toast roll-ups:

• Preheat the oven to 180˚C.
• Cut off the crusts from each slice of bread. Then roll flat with a rolling pin.
• Add about 1-2 tablespoons of the filling to the rolled-up slices of toast and roll into a wrap (see photos in the text above).
• In a shallow bowl (or deep dish) mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Melt vegan butter and place in another flat bowl.
• First dip the toast rolls into the melted butter and then toss in the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
• Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake for about 15-20 minutes until crisp and slightly browned.
• Serve warm immediately, if necessary with a dash of agave syrup if you want.
