  • Total Time: 75 min
  • Yield: 4-6 1x

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • two small pots
  • two small bowls
  • oven

Ingredients

Units Scale

APPLE PIE ROLLS

  • 8 filo pastry sheets
  • 1 apple
  • 150 milliliter apple juice
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 15 grams white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • pinch of salt

CARAMEL CINNAMON SAUCE

  • 75g white sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 20 grams butter
  • 75 grams heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

VANILLA SAUCE

  • 150 grams heavy cream
  • 150 milliliter full-fat milk
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 50 grams brown sugar
  • pinch of salt

MILK CRUMBLE

  • 30 grams full-fat milk powder
  • 50 grams all-purpose flour
  • 30 grams powdered sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 25 grams butter
  • 45 grams white chocolate

Instructions

  1. For the apple filling, dice the apples and add them to a pot with apple juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the apples are soft. Mix cornstarch with 2 tbsp of cold water, then stir it into the apple mixture. Bring to a quick boil until it thickens, then remove from heat and let cool.
  2. For the caramel-cinnamon sauce, heat sugar and water in a pot until it reaches 170°C (340°F) and turns a light golden caramel (about 10–15 minutes). Remove from heat and carefully stir in butter and cream – it may clump, but just keep stirring. Add a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, mix well, and let it cool.
  3. For the milk crumble, combine milk powder, flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add melted butter and mix with your hands until crumbly. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake at 140°C (285°F) for about 10 minutes. While it bakes, melt the white chocolate. Once the crumble is baked, transfer it to a bowl, drizzle the melted chocolate over it, and stir until it forms larger clusters. Set aside.
  4. Next, prepare the vanilla sauce. You can find the recipe here.
  5. For the filo rolls, place a heaping tablespoon of the apple filling on each sheet of filo dough. Fold in the sides, roll them up, and seal the ends with a bit of water. Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush them with melted butter, and bake at 180°C (355°F) for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. To serve, pour the vanilla sauce onto plates or bowls, cut the filo rolls into three pieces each, and arrange them on top of the sauce. Drizzle with the caramel-cinnamon sauce and finish with milk crumbles. Enjoy!

ABOUT THE RECIPE

There’s something magical about a bowl of caramelized onion soup. The rich, slow-cooked onions melt into a deeply savory broth that feels like pure comfort. And when you top it with a slice of crispy baguette smothered in broiled gruyere? Game over. It’s everything you need on a chilly evening. This dish takes time to build flavor, but trust me, it’s worth every minute. Cozy, rustic, and oh-so-satisfying, it’s the perfect way to warm up your soul.

How to serve
Serve this soup straight from the oven for the best experience. Ladle the rich broth into bowls, top with baguette slices, and load on the gruyere. Broil until the cheese bubbles and turns golden. Place the piping-hot bowls on a trivet or a wooden board, and serve with extra baguette for dipping. Pair it with a simple green salad or a crisp glass of white wine for a true French-inspired meal that hits all the cozy vibes.

How to store
Store leftover soup (without the bread) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove before serving. Broil baguette slices and cheese when ready to enjoy. The flavors deepen, making it even better the next day!
