Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla extract until frothy.
- Add the egg white mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well to form a batter.
- Spread a layer of heated jam on the prepared baking sheet.
- Pour the batter over the jam evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Carefully roll the baked sheet with the jam inside to form a jelly roll.
- Slice and serve, optionally dusted with confectioners sugar and ground cinnamon.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using unsweetened applesauce and reducing the sugar by half. You can substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option. If you prefer a different flavor, try adding a teaspoon of nutmeg or using maple syrup instead of sugar. To ensure even baking, spread the batter evenly over the jam.
Serving Suggestions
This delightful apple roll is perfect for breakfast or as a light dessert. Serve it warm, dusted with confectioners' sugar and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. Pair it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. It also makes a great accompaniment to a cup of tea or coffee for an afternoon snack.
