Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Grease a 15 x 10 inch jelly roll pan. Line with wax paper, grease and flour the paper; sprinkle the towel with powdered sugar.
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a small bowl.
- Beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl until thick; beat in cooked apples and raisins.
- Stir in the flour mixture; spread evenly into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle with chopped pecans if desired.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.
- Immediately loosen and turn the cake onto the prepared towel; carefully peel off the paper, roll up the cake and towel together starting with the narrow end, and cool on a wire rack.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, separate the eggs and whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter. You can substitute the cooked apples with other fruits like mashed bananas or pureed pumpkin for a different flavor. If you don’t have pecans, walnuts or almonds work well too. Consider dusting with powdered sugar or serving with a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful touch.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Fruit N Roll with a side of fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. It pairs beautifully with Pineapple Cheesecake for a sweet spread. For a festive touch, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or drizzle with a cream cheese glaze. This dish is perfect for brunch or as a sweet afternoon snack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the Fruit N Roll a day in advance. Once cooled, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. Just remember to roll it up again before serving to maintain its shape and texture.
What other fillings can I use?
You can get creative with the fillings! Consider using cream cheese mixed with flavored extracts, chocolate spread, or even a fruit compote. For a healthier option, try a yogurt-based filling or a layer of nut butter.
How do I know when it's done baking?
The cake is done when it springs back to the touch, and the edges start to pull away from the pan. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Keep an eye on it, as baking times can vary slightly depending on your oven.
